...at the Saab tech training center, of holed pistons directly attributable to running 87 in cars designed for premium (i.e., SPGs and Aeros). Could be these were extremely lead-footed drivers pushing their cars past their limits, or else "87" that was actually crummy, lower-octane fuel.
But Aero hardware is NOT designed to compensate for 87 octane (perhaps an automatic is), despite the fact that it probably can in most cases.
Regardless, you're going to lose enough of that fuel through inefficiency to make the savings meaningless.
