If you suffer no ill effects, then stay the course.
It's just a theory, but there may be additives in the higher grades that help with keeping injectors clean, reducing carbon build-up, etc., etc. Then again, it could just be "snake oil". Higher octane fules have a hotter "flash point", which inhibits detonation in high-compression engines, or lower-compression supercharged and turbocharged engines.
As your car gets older, some problems that might crop up could be solved simply by upgrading the octane you currently use.
