I was have always heard that you just get less gas mileage and diminished performance out of lower grade gas in cars that recommend premium. I have never heard that it could damage them.

Yeah, I have always heard that you can put 89 grade gas in vehicles that 87 is recommended from time to time to get an increase in performance with no problems.

93 grade is a waste in cars that 87 is recommended for.
Park the old car that I love the best
Inspections due and it won't pass the test
Funny how I have to put it to rest
And someday I will join it.
