There're not talking about all GDI's. It the 96 legnum. I would say, put high octane in it.

yes, low octane fuel will cause deposit buildup on the injectors (they are in the combustion chamber on GDI) and cause blockage.

If in doubt, use high octane. It's as simple as that.
Both of my cars run on 91, but they both run better on 95 (especially the Honda), so that's what choose I use.

Which ones are rated for low octane! I can't say I have been looking but I have never noticed any rated for low octane.
If they exist they would tend to defeat the point of the GDI concept and make it a very difficult engine to design so it worked properly.
