1. Yes, it gives slightly more power and better gas mileage. This is because
the computer does not retard the timing as much with higher octane. It is
worth the extra cents per gal. Also stick with good gas companies such as
Chevron, Texaco and Union 76. Most of them use additives and are more
reputable than AM/PM or BP. I have gotten bad gas from them in previous
vehicles and will never go back.
