I read above that running higher octane would cause more carbon buildup which I REALLY don't want. Was that statement true? Would there be any negative effects if I switch down to 87 octane now?
My car has roughly 230 miles on it only so far.

Salesman is wrong... you can run 87...
Not sure of the carbon build up... my gut instinct is that it wouldn't be a problem... but I have nothing to back that up...
