Using an octane rated lower than your vehicle specification will damage the engine. I would recommend not doing that.
Using an octane rated higher than your vehicle?
Use the lowest octane that does not 'ping' (detonation). The higher octane is not only more expensive, it can, in some cases, cost you performance. Its got to do with things like the latent heat of vaporization and other scientific formulas.
What happens when using octane higher than your car is rated?
Using octane fuel higher than your car is rated generally has minimal impact on performance or efficiency. Most modern engines are designed to run optimally on the recommended octane level, and using a higher octane fuel may not provide any noticeable benefits. However, it can help prevent knocking in high-performance or modified engines that require higher octane. In most cases, it's an unnecessary expense without significant advantages for standard vehicles.
Does it help to use octane rated higher than your vehicle requires?
No. * Added - Unless you are prepared to modify the tuning of your engine, the recommended octane rating is the best. Higher octanes do not provide more power, they simply burn slower. The higher the octane, the harder it is to ignite, which in most cases, will have no effect, but can make make the car harder to start. If you have an older car and have the equipment to adjust your vehicles system, using a higher octane fuel can result in higher gas mileage and more power. It requires that the spark timing be advanced to begin burning slightly sooner - and if a lower octane is then used with the same set-up, it can destroy the engine.
Is there an advantage of using 95 octane over 91 octane?
If vehicle does not "ping" severly on acceleration - no advantage

Yes, you can mix 87 octane gasoline with 93 octane gasoline without any issues. The resulting octane rating will be somewhere between the two, depending on the proportions mixed.

Always refer to your vehicle's owner manual for the recommended fuel octane rating.

What is the fuel octane reguirement of a 08 buick lucerne cts with the 4.6 northstar v8?
From the owner's manual: "If your vehicle has the 4.6L V8 engine (VIN Code Y), use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. You can also use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but your vehicle's acceleration could be slightly reduced, and you might notice a slight audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock." So you can use either regular, mid-grade, or premium. I have not noticed any loss of acceleration or spark knock by using 87 octane fuel.
Using an octane rated higher than your vehicle will burn your cylinder heads?
It can, ultimately. It will ruin the plugs and valves, the compression ratio will not be correct, thermal transfer will be to high. The timing will be wrong. It will not be efficient. The small amount of extra HP is not worth the expence when it goes wrong
