Even with the price of gas as it is now, the difference in cost between 87 and 91, per mile, is what, about 1-2 cents more on average for these cars?

At least it wasn't diesel.

Especially if you got a bit of a blend with a higher octane in there, you're fine. Not something to do every fill-up, but it won't hurt this time. Stay out of WOT though!
