My understanding is that all the sensors and stuff will adjust away any advantage of a higher octane. So there's no benefit to using the more expensive gas.

In a stock, un-modified engine, using higher than required octane fule is just a waste of money. If the manual calls for 87 octane, that's all you need

Just to back up everyone's reply.. correct, higher octane gas will provide zero benefit to you.
