All OBDII ecu's on cars designed for 87 octane automatically detect and advance timing when higher octane is introduced than what the car was designed to run on? I don't think that's true.

But..
I have this suspicion that it's like this, if the car is meant for 87 then it might not have a high octane map onboard, but if it's tuned for 93/91 then it can detect the higher octane after it's been drinking 87 for a while?
