Running a gas with higher octane rating than what the engine is designed for does nothing. Higher octane rating only means the fuel is more resistant to compression-detonation.

Now, if the "premium" fuel also has no ethanol in it, that is a different story. Some stations in some states still sell gas without ethanol as a selection at the pump, but it is getting harder to find.
