Premium gas does not provide "a bit more pickup" to an engine designed to run on 87 octane. In fact, it can actually reduce performance and cause more carbon buildup. Higher octane gas is harder to combust, and this is so that high compression engines do not suffer from pre-iginition (pinging, knocking, pre-detonation).
Lower octane gas actually combusts more easily and fully in a lower compression engine, thus giving you more power. If your engine is not running 10:1 or higher compression, there is absolutely NO need to use high octane gas. In fact, doing so is foolish...
