[s-cars] Lowest octane for road trip?

[mlp]

Assuming your knock sensors are working, you ought to be able to run any
octane (within reason) you want.  You won't have to worry about boost, the
knock sensors should cut you back if they hear some thing they don't like.
If the weather cooperates, i.e. 40°F or less, go ahead and make a go for the
23 psi on 85 octane.  As always, ..... YMMV or is it more appropriately YBMV
(your boost may vary)
