> Hi All. I bought a 2006 MC S automatic when it had 10,300 miles on it.
> Now it has nearly 20 grand. The PO said she had always used 87 octane

> apparent problems. Recently I've had folks tell me to use 91+ octane.
> Why?? Am I damaging anything by using the lower (and cheaper) 87
> octane?? Thanks for your feedback.
