From the 2012 Camaro owner's manual....
Recommended Fuel If the vehicle has the 3.6L V6 engine knocking noise, commonly referred (VIN Code 3), use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 87 or higher. If the octane rating is less than 87, an audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock, might be heard when driving. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as possible. If heavy knocking is heard when using gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, the engine needs service. If the vehicle has the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code W) or the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code J), use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. For best performance, use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 93. You can also use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but the vehicle's acceleration could be slightly reduced, and a slight audible to as spark knock, might be heard. If the octane rating is less than 87, a heavy knocking noise might be heard when driving. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could damage the engine. If heavy knocking is heard when using gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, the engine needs service. In Oregon and Washington states, it is near impossible to find premium gas above 91. So I use 91 and from a place that offers ethanol-free premium. |

Based on threads by those that have had 87 octane gas from the dealer, buying an SS and running 87 octane is just throwing away money. Your performance will be comparable to a v6 (or worse in some cases), and you should have just bought one of those. At least run 91 so you remain on the high-octane level table.
