Nope. Its just that decades of marketing have made people think that
higher octane = more power. As long as you aren't pinging or knocking,
raising the octane will net you zero additional horsepower, and in fact,
may even decrease your power due to the tendancy of many many high
octane fuels being slower to burn.
