As allanoue noted, in the U.S. 87 is the "regular" grade. Most gas in the U.S has 10% Ethanol added - which I recommend staying away from if possible.

Running the lowest grade fuel that doesn't detonate will always give you the best performance and mileage - and gas without Ethanol increases both.
