Guys you are taking this octane thing way too seriously. Of course i am not recommending to always use 87. What I am saying is that your car will be fine using 87 with very minimal physical damage to the engine because of modern technology.

At the end of the day, there are tons of Mercedes ML350 owners putting 87 in their 12:1 compression engines without problems.

Consistently red lining your engine will do more harm over time, let's just leave it as that.
The bolded I agree with 100%.
The rest of it is bunk.
