well that's a misconception. Higher octane won't damage your car. The only way octane can hurt you is if it's too low. Read this article from the Federal Trade Commission on this subject

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/autos/octane.htm

Stick with what's recommend in the owners manual until the time comes where you've modded it to need the extra octane. It'll save you money.
