[s-cars] Lowest octane for road trip?

I don't think you'll damage anything running low octane, assuming your ECU 
still retards timing when it sees detonation. But it's certainly not the 
best idea out there.

Driving to Rochester NY from NH on Wednesday.  This will be the first
time I've taken my car beyond 100 miles since I bought it.  I was
thinking that if I can resist the temptation of 23lb boost for 1 day,
maybe I could run 87 or 91 and save a couple bucks.

Good idea?  Bad?  Thoughts?



Mike
