Dude, 92 octaine MINIMUM. Running less impacts the engine compartment, and components. You'll have to replace major engine components in a few years if you keep it up.

Resetting the ECU wont do anything. The ECU is constantly learning and adjusting.
Just stick with 91 octane or better. At my local station I can choose 87,89,91,92 or 93.5 octane.
If you only have the option of 87, 89 or 93, you can mix half 89 and half 93 to get 91 and save a few pennies.
My car has 200k miles and a dead O2 sensor but I still get 24mpg around town and almost 30mpg on the highway.
