Using low octane fuel in a high octane engine will result in severely reduced performance because the engine will attempt to adjust to the lower octane gasoline. In extreme cases, or with prolonged use of low octane gasoline in these engines, pinging or pre-detonation can occur and can eventually destroy your engine.
This is a common misconception, and the real source of the octane rating is a bit more unexpected. Octane is actually a measure of how resistant that grade of gasoline is to engine knocks at higher compression in the combustion chamber. Less stable fuel, below 90 octane, is fine for most engines.
