You will loose performance.
When I purchased my car the salesperson said that he alternates between regular and preminum grade gas ever other fill up. I tried putting regular in my car once. I noticed a huge difference and vowed to never do that again. I suggest you use preminum gas only.

As long as you are running stock ECU software, it will safely run on 87 AKI.
The ECU will adapt to the reduced octane. Your car will run just fine but with a slight loss of performance and slight reduction in fuel economy.
Audi recommends 91 AKI for best performance and that's what I recommend you run but if you want or need to run a lower octane rating, you're safe down to 87 AKI.
WARNING: If you are chipped, NEVER use an octane rating lower than specified for your ECU program. You'd risk severe engine damage.
