If you're talking about your '87. Well, some folks claim that they run regular all of the time in their late 3.2L cars. I never did and still wouldn't unless I really had to. If you have to then run a good quality, like Chevron, and as stated don't drive too hard (don't redline or full throttle accelerate, especially in higher gears)

Heat plays an issue too, so if it's cool, then it's probably much less of an issue. Your '87 doesn't have a knock sensor, so don't rely on that to save you.
