I have had no problems running 87 octane...but you could have picked up a tank of gas that's contaminated...usually with water. You could try adding some "dry gas" to your tank...it's cheap enough at $2-$3 for a bottle and it might solve your problem. But I don't know if that's your problem.
I once got a tank of bad gas while on a trip to Asheville, NC with my Suburban...I lost major power on uphill grades with a weird surging/stutering. My first thought was oh S**T there goes my transmission...however on closer examination I began to think bad gas...so I dropped 2 bottles of dry gas in and filled up with 93 oct...problem cured.
