Simple,
If you engine requires 91 octane, and you put 87 in it, you will experience a degradation of engine performance, due to the lower octane having faster burn properties.
If your engine requires 87 octane and you put high octane (90-91 octane) fuel into it, you will NOT see a performance boost, and may even see a slight decline in performance.
What 99% of all people don't know is that High Octane fuel actually burns more slowly, than lower octane fuel. This property, allows higher compression prior to detonation, hence more performance at combustion.

Octane rating is the resistance to burning. For example (not real number) a gas with an octane rating of 50 will burn at 100 degrees Fahrenheit whereas a gas with an octane rating of 100 will burn at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher the octane number the harder it is to burn.

What are uses of iso-octane?
ISO-octane, or 2, 2, 4-Trimethylpentane is mainly used in the production of gasoline. When added, it reduces engine knocking. The addition of ISO-octane is what is referred to when a gasoline's octane rating is referred to, and a 100 rating is when only ISO-octane is added to the gasoline. A zero rating is when only heptane is added, so the various ratings refer to the ratio and blends added to fuel.
