Yeah, there's actually quite a few out there that require the higher stuff. But as you mentioned you won't HURT them by putting in 87 - you'll just reduce their performance significantly.

Basically, check your owner's manual - if it says unleaded, you're good to go with 87. If it says premium, get the expensive stuff.
