The Engine Masters TV series did a whole show testing different octane fuels on the dyno. There was no noticeable difference in the torque/power numbers between them even when the timing was adjusted to optimum. The only benefit of higher octane was knock/ping resistance. So, according to them, if the engine is not knocking/pinging when you use it, higher octane fuel is pointless.
