93 vs. 87 Octane

I own and drive a 1993 900s, 99,000 miles with a five speed transmission. For the past year I have exclusively used Premium gasoline thinking, knowing that 93 octane gives better performance and milage.
Two days ago I was on E and I filled up with 87 Octane(15.5 gallons). I've only driven about 100 miles now on the lower Octane but so far I don't feel any difference in the performance, hear or feel pinging( temp has been around 25 F.) and the milage seems about the same. I'm going to keep using the 87 for now and see how it goes. I must say that the 2.1 16valve engine is one of the best around. Especially for the time frame it was built in.
