Trying to save a couple of bucks by filling up with lower octane doesn't work for high(er) performance cars. The ECU will just adapt the mixture so that the engine power stays the same. Lower octane will lead to lower mileage. We've been driving Saabs for many years and decided that the highest octane will cost the same in the long run and results in a smoother engine.
