Quite a few other people have said the same thing.

I think it might be because higher octane gas burns slower.

It's all in your head man, the LS is meant to burn 87 and runs/performs better with 87 (so long as your car is stock). You've just been wasting your money

the engine is set to burn 86....your gas to be at its limits of detonation resistance. so it burns efficient...and provides a better burn.

That statement is true..
But only numbers can tell - if you do the same amount of driving and have the same driving habbits.

But you car can get used to a certain octane, so if you run it on premium for a while and then later decide to switch back to regular - you may expereince knocking
