I was hoping to learn something in that video ... The only thing it reinforced was that the general public is as ignorant about gasoline as they are about almost everything else.

Interestingly enough, some modern vehicles can and will react to higher octane gasoline.

"Subsequent discussions with GM powertrain big wigs ... revealed that small turbo engines are especially sensitive to octane in high load situations and hot weather."

The Ultimate Hot Weather MPG Test - Regular vs. Premium - 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ Long-Term Road Test

As well, even the J30A4/J35A4s react to 91 octane - It's recommended in the Pilot's owner's manual to use premium when towing, recommended for 7th gen V6 manual coupes to reduce knocking, and the Honda V6 Engineer is quoted mentioning an extra 10hp on premium for 7th gen Accords.

"although Accord's will jump 10 horsepower or so on premium, V-6's chief engineer Yusuaki Asaki says"

But my car's instruction book says I should use 91, otherwise it would probably damage the engine. So why should I take the risk?

86 sees regular because it's N/A
ST sees 89 because it's boosted.

I'm not sure if these results are conclusive in any way, but it looks like the 8th gens get a bit of a boost as well. There's a dyno chart in the link showing about 10hp and 10tq on the high end

depends on the car really.... I put regular in my Maxima because that's what the manual says I can use. But I put premium in my G35 even though it's only "recommended".... but both cars run on the VQ35DE engine...

I ran 87 on the G35 once before it knocked the hell out of it even on day to day operation. noticeable mostly on uphill pulls and when the engine is lugged.

Use whatever octane your car is tuned to. If it's tuned for 87, run 87.

If you decide to use 94, 97 race gas jet fuel or whatever when it's not tuned for...then you just ballin out of control.

This has always been a question of mine though. The gas companies claim to put in more additives in their premium gasolines, so theoretically speaking if one chooses to use premium gasoline in their vehicles that only require 87, would they theoretically be protecting the engine better given the higher level of additives (cleaning agents) as well as the higher detonation point of higher octane fuel reducing the chance of knock? Someone school me on this!

If the car manufacture states that your model of vehicle doesn't require higher octane fuel, why use higher octane fuel. Just read the owner's manual. It will tell you if you require or recommend other than regular gas. Require is pretty self explanatory. Recommend, it is truly up to you if you want to spend more money on gas.
