Will 93 gasoline affect the engine?
To anyone who does not know what this means who is reading this, '93 gasoline' describes the level of octane (as measured by a special chemical equation) in a gallon of gas. 93 level octane (as it is called) will have no affect on the average engine, and it is only a myth that it will improve performance or mpg in a car. So the answer is no, it will only affect your wallet (cost of 93 versus a cheaper fuel) unless you happen to own a car with a high compression engine it is a waste of money to buy a higher octane than your car was designed to use. In fact newer vehicles with computer controlled fuel management systems requiring 87 octane will be harder to start with a high octane fuel.

Will mixing 87 octane gas with 91 octane gas affect your car?
not at all you're essentially making 89 octane. Using a higher octane than the engine was designed to burn is a total waste of money. It will provide no benefit whatsoever. No better mileage and no more power. It is a myth that is does. In fact on modern cars it may make it harder to start. Use what is recommended by the manufacture.

Not really. Fill up with the "correct" octane when you run some fuel out of your ride.
If a car has been given a certain type of gas for a long time would it hurt to start giving it different type of gas?
It would only hurt if the car required 89 octane or 92 octane and you went to a lesser octane. Those cars are engineered to run on a higher octane. A car engineered for the lower 87 octane might actually see some performance improvement by going to a higher octane once or twice, because the higher octane will help to clean the injectors a "little". Not much though. Over all there is no real significance to using the higher octane. The higher the octane level, the "richer" or "heavier" the fuel is. So if the car is not manufactured for the higher octane, you will eventually cause carbon build up at a faster rate than normal.
