While octane doesn't dictate quality of gas, point is the engine isn't designed to run on 87. If you want to run 87 to save a measly $500/year, save THOUSANDS and buy something less prestigious, less flamboyant, less maintenance, less everything. Your logic is terrible.

Thanks for the insults. That's usually what people resort to when they can't make a scientific argument. Your frustration should be in your limited scientific understanding or education, not directed to a random person on the internet!
You specifically said that lower octane will destroy the engine. There's zero evidence of that. You are clearly not an engineer or scientist. There isn't some engineering team that magically designs a car that specifically runs on 93 octane gas. That's simply not how engineering and science works.
Octane is referring to combustibility. This is fairly basic HS chemistry. Higher combustibility will yield greater power and slightly greater miles per gallon. This is what I use in my Exotics. For my daily drivers, it's not needed as I rarely utilize even 50% of the power. This is why the vast majority of people fill with 87 octane and no engines are destroyed!
No more free education for you. Your behavior is unappealing to me.
