87 is not going to harm the engine at all for the short period of time u have the car.
The worst that would happen if 87 was used say over a 10 year period would be more deposits and build up on the engine.

The only problem is, the next person that gets it either won't know any better, or say "fvck it" and put 87 into it

Arco's a **** ton cheaper haha and 91 octane is still 91 octane. I'd rather fill up with Acro with 91 octane than fill up with Shell with 87. I might actually have to start using Arco for a bit until the gas prices go down because this is ridiculous..
