There seems to be a lot of anectdotal support and some research that says better mileage with higher octane. You won't hurt a 9-3 with 87 octane. You will get lower power on 87 which I think you might notice. As to the fuel mileage difference, it will continue to be anecdotal evidence until you can drive the same car on the same road in the same conditions with the different fuels, which is really hard to do. A road trip like yours would be the perfect time for you to add to the debate.
