other than performence and a lil carb build up is ther anytning as that can go wrong bec 87
i live on a farm and i fill on the farm tank however my parent own it and they use 87 but i can fill for free and do not have the money to pay for gas, i know all have decreased perfomence but it ran alright for the last 4 months on it, but i gueess the plugs do need replacing anyway, i guees this is the downside to free gas huh? what other major problems can occer from using 87

Higher octane provides more resistance to detonation.
If you're not experiencing any knocking you're fine. But at the same time, if a certain octane is being recommended then it's more of the engine designed with that in mind for the performance.
