Woops wrong gas

Well i was messing around today on the z and i noticed when i hit around 10lbs of boost i was hearing the tinging noise and didnt know what it was but then i realized it was detonating.Well i had let a friend use it for prom the day before and i asked him what gas he put in it(even though i said only 91 or higher) and he said 87 .well that explained why it was running goofy and detonating.so i drained out all the gas and im putting in some 92 non oxy tomorrow with some injector cleaner.But i was just wondering if 110 oct will eat my rubber lines cus there a gas station near me that has it.I dont think i can run it straight 110 but if i can tell me lol.
