Some of the current US market Saabs recommend an octane rating of 90 or more. The octane rating is different in many other countries.
You can see how you like it by mixing half a tank of 87 with 93 to get 90 or a bit more than half of 91 or 92 and 87. In some markets, 89 octane costs more than mixing it yourself.
With octane, you can mix gas. That what fuel pumps in the station do. I asked several gas stations.
Gas mileage does get worse with lower octane, but I think it's only about 1% worse, which doesn't make up for the 3-4% difference in price.
If you do mix, keep records if you are curious the exact octane in your gas tank.
