2021 Mazda c/m-5 87 octane
Its a common sense assumption that this is done regarding the ECU/ECM/PCM on vehicles, so sort of but not always and not really so much with the MAZDA. Maybe read my previous response. Specifically, the Skyactiv ECU. I have been developing power parts for the 2.5 and have monitored what the ECU does. I did about a year ago run one complete tank of 87 octane Chevron and compared the results and data logging on which was close to the exact same miles and travel route. I can tell you everything was less, power and MPG. While I did Not DYNO the 87 because (WHY), (LOL) I have run several DYNO runs setting up and running the same DELTA each time from the base line completely stock MAZDA 2,5 to each addition I made on the engine or something that may affect the engine output?

In that last response you are asking about it is not Turbocharged MAZDA. In my other responses on this thread, it applies to MAZDA specific Turbocharged, and none turbocharged engines and other platforms 4cyld. 2002 and newer Turbocharged Supercharged engines.
DITTO. Unless you have the Turbo, why would you want to use anything OTHER THAN 87 Octane gas? Do you have money that you regularly burn to start your grill in the evening? Please send the extra money to my personal charity if you have no use for it. Or send it in to help pay down the $29 Trillion U.S. debt outstanding.

Below is a slightly modified Turbocharged PT Cruiser with mechanical and ECU adjusted operating perimeter's. This PT does low 12's in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 in about 5 seconds. But even with some changes in the boost control you will notice the boost monitor going to full allowed and adjusted boos and then as the MPH and different high RPM reached starts to decline. Without the limits the engine would over boost and likely heat and blow the engine. It is the same with a MAZDA Turbocharged engine.
In the end its your vehicles and you can do whatever you want and use what-ever fuel in it you want.
