I won't be using anything less than 91. I wish Cali wouldn't have gotten stupid and dropped their octane ratings. 87,89, and 91. I miss my 93!

I will be using 91 for sure!! But I wanted to know, what will happen to your car if you used regular (87) on an SS? Will it be sluggish? Or will it wear down the car over time?
