I have a Land Rover freelander and I filled my tank with regular 85 octain, manufactor says only to use 87 octain and above. I called the dealer ship to explore my options as far as solve to my mistake and was told there was not a problem with using 85 octain, I hope this is of some help...
Nothing happens, except your wallet will be lighter.
Yes, but your engine will cut back on power. The computer is designed to monitor the octane level and perform accordingly.

The only difference in regular unleaded fuel and super unleaded is the octane rating is higher in super unleaded fuel. Burning super unleaded would not cause your vehicle to die.
Regular 87 octane should be sufficient
There is no risk in mixing super unleaded gas and regular unleaded gas. Super is just given to the name of a gasoline because of cleaning agents and octane added to the gas not because the gas is completely different.
yes
It will run just fine on unleaded regular. Either one you an afford.
Unless your owners manual says that you must use super unleaded gas, you should just use regular unleaded. Otherwise you are just wasting your money and possibly harming your engine. super unleaded petrol has a higher octain rate than unleaded. check your owners manual for the optimal rate you should be using for the engine.
Yes. You can always use a higher octane gas but you might see no benefit to the additional cost.
Yes you can. Super unleaded gas is just lower in lead so it will not leave as much residue in the system thus giving better gas mileage.
Yes
