Will higher octane or premium fuel really give me better gas mileage and/or more power like people say?

The answer is no. Sportier cars have higher compression engines which generate more power and require higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. That's where the myth of "premium = more power" came from. If your handbook says "regular", use regular.
