They did not say 91 is required but it is OK to use 87 if you so choose.
I am not for one second saying it will wreck the engine but if there was severe knock from using it then it a possibility.

Ok you bring up knock but do we know we get knock at 87? The ECU is a smart piece of work that pulls back the engine to prevent knock.

It would be interesting to run a datalog while running 87 to see if there actually is any.. i'm sure someone on here has done that.
