Gen 3 87 octane????? Is this really a thing?

So, I recently just did completed build on my turbo bike. I had it tuned on pump premium. I am rural and some of the fuel stations I have to frequent do not offer any fuel other than 10% or 15% eth. I knew this going into my build. I asked my builder what would be the result of having to utilize these fuels in a pinch. He stated it would not harm the bike. He stated power really wouldn't be effected. He also stated that the added eth would potentially be helpful as it would be an added lube and would potentially make the motor run a little cooler is all I would experience.
 
I also think the ethanol blends are likely higher octane than the label On the pump states. This is pure speculation though.
