It won't really hurt your engine to bad but it will rob your power. Your engine doesn't compress hard enough to ignite all that fuel so there will be leftover of gas which will cause your engine internals to sluge up.

Should you use 93 octane in a 1999 Lincoln continental?

I asked the Lincoln Mercury dealer about this and they said that for optimum performance I should use a minimum of 91 octane but that lower grades right down to 87 octane regular can be used. When octane grades lower than 91 are used, the ECC (engine control computer) will automatically detune the engine to prevent knock although you will have a slight power loss. Using an octane grade lower than 91 will not hurt the engine.

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.
