It's perfectly fine. It's actually better because it's higher octane, just more expensive.

Totally fine - Any vehicle that recommends the use of 87 octane can use a higher octane if the owner so chooses, there just may not be any benefit from it because the car's is optimized/ tuned for regular unleaded. Placing 88-93 won't do any harm....if anything it could POTENTIALLY prevent some pre-detonation. Stoichiometry for 87-93 octane is all the same so your car will run fine. That said, if your car is tuned to run on 91 or 93 octane fuel, running 87 octane is not a good idea. Most modern car's have advanced knock detection abilities and will be able to to detect pre-detonation and retard timing to prevent any damage, but it's not a wise choice.

Was told by a number of good mechanics that foex cuel will do alot of damage so you haveno idea what your talking about

I have a 2008 Kia sportage lx 4wd and I usually put 87 unleaded in the gas tank but I accidently put 88 unleaded in it will this harm my car in anyway ?

@Guru9ZHRCX This is an old post but ur ok. Same answer as above for non flex fuel cars.

88 octane gas is E15. Don't use it unless your car is rated for it (most cars are not).
