Hi there
It's highly unlikely that the switch from 95- to 93-octane fuel could have damaged your car that expensively - the 1.6-litre Ford Focus had a naturally-aspirated (non-turbo) engine which will happily run on 93 octane (albeit with a possible drop in performance and increase in consumption). Please furnish us with more details regarding the engine failure, including the diagnosis as made by the dealership, because somethings smells fishy in this story...
Hope this helps!

Ideally it's best to use what the manufacturer recommends. You can find such info in the owners manual or the inside the fuel flap. You'll likely notice a drop in performance and increased consumption from not using the correct fuel grade.
