Your car was designed to run on regular (87) I would try tuning the car up ( plugs air filter, fuel filter) and disconnecting the battery to clear the truoble codes . You are supposed to disconnect the battery when you work under the hood anyway.

High octane fuel isn't supposed to boost performance. It's for engines with high compression ratios. The higher the octane rating, the more percent octane in the fuel, which means the more it can be compressed before it ignites on its own.
Use whatever the manual says. If you don't experience problems with whatever the manual says, then all upping the octane will do is empty your wallet faster.
