Increasing the fuel octane rating will have no effect whatsoever on milage and power unless you advance the timing to take advantage.. and then you have to run premium or octane booster all the time or you'll get detonation. These motors don't have smart enough brains to advance the timing on thier own, unlike the newer versions with OBD2 computers.
