Yeah it’s pretty obvious, putting 97 in a car that the manufacturers recommend 89 won’t help at all, higher octane =/= more power coz engines are designed to suit a certain type of fuel for optimum performance. However with supporting mods (remap,etc.) it might help xD

In Austria, 91 octane gas is the worst you could go with.
We usually have 91, 93 and 98 octane at the pumps
regular gasoline/petrol costs 4 R$ a litre just living here is not worth it

My car actually requires premium fuel. The owner’s manual says that 91 octane is required. 87 can be substituted safely but there will be a significant drop in power and economy due to the engine retarding timing and enriching the fuel mixture to prevent knocking. I found this to be very true as when I ran regular gasoline my fuel mileage went down from 22 mpg to like 8-10 mpg. The car felt noticeably slower and everyone said it smoked black out the exhaust and stunk really bad like unburnt fuel. Running premium fuel stops all of this.
