Thinner air is going to lean out the mix and make knock more likely.
I think I've put 85 or 86 octane in rental cars, but I'd never put that stuff in anything I owned. Except maybe a lawnmower.
We ran premium in my wife's 9-5 Linear wagon on a 1500 mile trip to Nova Scotia last summer and the car ran great, getting 30 to 33 mpg on the highway, fully loaded with people and stuff.
In my 9000 I don't see much difference in fuel mileage between 89 and 91+ octane gas, in either local or long trip driving. Performance is better with 91+, but only if I am actively dipping into the turbo.
