There was some discussion on this a few months back.  It seems that the
final consensus was that the FI is optimized for 87 degrees, and unless you
have a very marginal cooling system, you will get better driveability and
fuel economy at 87.  I would think if your system was THAT marginal, it
would be advisable to do whatever is needed to demarginalize it.
