How much octane rating of the gasoline?
There are many different grades of gasoline, each with a different octane rating. Early gasoline had very low octane in many cases, from the 1920s to the 1970s octane rating was improved by adding a highly poisonous chemical called tetraethyl lead and ranged from about 90 to 110 octane, most modern cars can run on 87 octane unleaded (now considered "regular" grade gasoline), "premium" grade gasoline is around 90 to 92 octane unleaded, airplane gasoline is typically 130 octane leaded.
Is it harder to ignite a lower or higher-octane gasoline?
It is harder to ignite higher octane gasoline - the octane rating expresses the compound's resistance to pre-ignition (often called "ping") Low octane fuels tend to 'ping' more than high octane fuels because they ignite more easily.

What happens if you fill wrong gas in your car?
Depends on the details of your mistake, and what your car needs. If you car is built for low-octane gas, then it will run quite happily(but at higher cost) on higher octane gasoline. If it's built for high-octane and you put low-octane in, the engine may knock and/or ping, which isn't entirely healthy for it. If yoy put diesel in a gasoline car, or the other way around, it won't run at all.
