What is high octane fuel?
Regular unleaded fuel is 87 octane. High octane fuel is any fuel higher than regular. 89 and 91 octane being the most common the consumer can buy. High octane fuel is not needed in most cars and is a waste of money if your car does not need it. It provides no benefit whatsoever in a vehicle designed to run on Regular.

Can you run high octaine fuel?
It depends on the type of engine and how high of octane you are running. Octane slows the burning of fuel, so if it is too high of octane for the engine, you will end up burning out your exhaust valves because burning fuel is being pushed out of them. 92 or 93 octane that is available at fuel pumps as "premium" fuel is ok for most engines. I wouldn't run anything over about 100 octane.
