87 octane should be fine.

I only ever ran premium in my '95. I thought the owners manual called for it?

Here's the quote from page 273 in the owner's manual

"Your vehicle is designed to use regular unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87".

When the timing is set at 10 degrees you can use any octane available. It's when people have cranked up the timing and it's detonating then putting 91+ octane is a must.

I also ran 93 in my cars. When I was using the 2006GT as a daily driver running 87 brought down the fuel mileage number.
