LOL ...of course. I've used nothing BUT 87 in all my lawn tools/mowers etc since ...forever. At least 25 some years +. I haven't experienced the fabled 'water build-up' and other boogyman problems internet city-slickers warn around. And I have NEVER used STA-bil either. Never had a problem. And on the farm (any farms I know about) where machinery may sit for months at a time, nobody I ever knew growing up ever used Sta-bil either. It probably can't hurt, but the sun will still rise in the east if you don't use it.
But up here in the N, it's real cold in the winter and gas doesn't really go bad rapidly over the winter. In other parts of the country, I'd probably run some 'non-ethanol' gas through a mower or lawn tool before putting it to bed in the fall.
Make sure, whatever you do, read your equipment's manual and run the fuel type and octane rating they recommend.
