The octane rating on gasoline indicates the gas' resistence to premature detonation, or "knocking". Your best bet is to see what your owner's manual recommends. That particular engine isn't inordinately high-tech, so I would guess the recommendation will be for 87 anyway. High test gas does nothing to increase power: its only function is to prevent highly stressed engines from knocking.
