This is not a Lamborghini. If it blows up so be it. It’s a risk i’m Taking. Not advocating anyone else do it.
I’ll probably keep this car for as long as it holds up. Hopefully 10 years. It probably won’t get here since I have 94k in 3 years. That would mean 300k miles. I got 13 years out of my last car until it got totaled
But if I do get there, then I would have save $7500 in gas.

Did you take into account that you may actually be getting worse gas mileage with the lower octane? And wouldn't that completely nullify or reduce the amount of any fuel savings you think you might be getting?
You're not advocating it, but we're also telling you its a dumb thing to ignore the manufacturer specifications.
