I also suspect 87 will not only be lower octane but also lower quality in other terms like additives and deposits as well
I do have concerns with running poor fuels through complex modern fuel systems like this with direct injection
Its certianly not someting id recomend people do

Steve,
I am totally aware of the risks. In fact I am quite familiar of one of results of knocking often mentioned here
https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2401576
However the reward is bigger for me here and than a potential risk, which I will do everything to mitigate. Hoping that octane boosters will be effective, which I will test.
As far as 91 vs 93, all we have in south west is 91. Not sure why.
One thing which I am confused is how to see knocking in data logs. I could not find a direct counter. I only see:
Knock Correction (FBKC)
IAM
KC Learned
FLCK
and apparently I have to derive actual events from this like here:
