gas octane

Just purchased an 88 RX-7 and was wondering if I can put regular 87 octane fuel in the car? The previous owner always put premium gas in the car, but with the way gas prices are looking as was wondering if I could get away with a lower octane. Any damage in doing this? What do other people use in your RX-7's?

Welcome to the forum.

Please read the FAQ and use the search feature before you post.

This question has been answered a hundred or so times in the past three months. Long story short is that you should run 87 octane in an NA.
