Haha... I don't want the engine to esplode.

But all joking aside, beside performance, is there any reason not to put the cheapest basic gas in it?

Well yes... you will blow up the engine with 87... premature detonation = bad!

I'm not joking. It will explode in the engine. It won't burn, it will explode.

It's called detonation, which is bad for an engine.
