M6's definitely have high compression engines, so the effect of 87 octane gas in the tank is that you may get more pre- or post-detonation, or engine knock.

The cure is to drive nicely until you burn off the cheap stuff. It's not a disaster, just don't push the engine really hard until you've burned through this tank.
Yea that was the plan. This is super stressful indeed!

Thanks again
