You don't need to modify the engine if you want to put higher octane fuel in it.
On the other hand, if you want to run at a higher compression ratio, then you are required to increase the octane rating of your fuel.

Ok next time you take a Diesel, I suggest yu might try to put some 95 or 98 gasoline while I'll try myself to put diesel in a gasoline car. We will see who has the biggest bill.
