Ever hear an 850 knock? Running regular gas, 87 octane around here and 85 in the mountain states, will cause retarded timing and extra gas to be used. The 2 knock sensors prevent detonation better than human hearing.

Trying to get more than 4K rpm on regular gasoline at full throttle will not work. On a turbo engine, it will stop at around 5K on 89octane.

Using regular gasoline will not hurt the engine, just the check book because of the mileage decrease.
