Question 5.4 low octane gas use

In my maintainance book for my 2001 5.4 motor it states; use 87 octane gas especially if gas is from the us, I have always owned older ford trucks and have used 90 plus octane thinking it would burn cleaner my question is does anyone know why ford recommends the lower octane rating ?
