[Spridgets] octane needs for 2006 Mini Cooper S

[David Booker]

Apparently the cheap gas made your left pedal fall out from under the dash -
toss the car as it's ruined now.

Hi All.  I bought a 2006 MC S automatic when it had 10,300 miles on it.
Now it has nearly 20 grand.  The PO said she had always used 87 octane
with no problems.  Soooo, I have continued using 87 octane with no
apparent problems.  Recently I've had folks tell me to use 91+ octane.
Why??  Am I damaging anything by using the lower (and cheaper) 87
octane??  Thanks for your feedback.
