The higher octane content in plus and super also result in a higher amount of energy per unit volume. So you'll get better gas mileage, and have a little bit more power. But the difference in gas mileage is not enough to offset the increase in price.

Don't you have to have a specific type of engine to take advantage of that?

No. Higher octane gas does more work/unit volume. The type of engine shouldn't really matter.

I thought the octane rating had more to do with how fast the fuel burns. Higher rating=slower burning
