What does your manual indicate as far as grade. Using a higher octane than specified causes a carbon build up, but if you are experiencing pre ignition a higher octane may be needed, but if you are not experiencing pre ignition do not use a higher octane. The timing on modern cars is dynamic and sensors will notice the pre ignition and the timing will be advanced to take care of it.
The use of a higher octane fuel where a regular fuel will do is costly unless you want a fuel with zero ethanol. Read the pump, they will indicate 5% to 10% of the corn alcohol
