Every mechanic I have ever spoken to has told me to abide by the recommendation from the manufacturer, they have hundreds of thousands of hours in torture testing every part of the automobile and make this recommendation for a reason.

I bet if you took a look at some injectors from someone using 87 for 30K miles and someone using 93 for 30K I bet it would look like the difference between a smokers lungs and a nonsmokers lungs. Dramatic, maybe - accurate, yes.
