I didn't say one tank would destroy the engine but it certainly wouldn't be good for it and continued use would almost certainly dramatically reduce the life of the engine.
If you took the car in for an engine warranty claim and they found it filled with 87 octane, even if it was the first tank of 87 octane, do you think they would honour the warranty claim?
