Yep. Some engines (like my Honda) use knock sensors and adjust. Most higher-performance engines (like both my Volvos, and several others in the past few years) REQUIRE 91 or higher for sustained operation without damage.

If I only had $0.15 for every old fart who told me I was wasting money putting premium in these cars, I'd have a free tank of juice.
