I'll assume you're talking about different octane ratings (87, 89, 91, etc). Basically, they refer to the ping or knock resistance of the fuel. The higher the number, the greater its resistance to pinging or knocking.

Most modern cars are designed to run on 87 octane fuel. In this case, running a higher octane might yield a slight performance increase, but it most likely wouldn't be worth the extra cost. Other than that, there is no real advantage to running a higher octane in your car.
