Will 93 gasoline affect the engine?

Will 93 gasoline affect the engine?
To anyone who does not know what this means who is reading this, '93 gasoline' describes the level of octane (as measured by a special chemical equation) in a gallon of gas. 93 level octane (as it is called) will have no affect on the average engine, and it is only a myth that it will improve performance or mpg in a car. So the answer is no, it will only affect your wallet (cost of 93 versus a cheaper fuel) unless you happen to own a car with a high compression engine it is a waste of money to buy a higher octane than your car was designed to use. In fact newer vehicles with computer controlled fuel management systems requiring 87 octane will be harder to start with a high octane fuel.
