Its a common misconception but higher octane fuel does not give better efficiency. It allows higher combustion ratios as it burns cleaner and more evenly,hence why it also helps reduce pre ignition (pinging) and things like that .
A denser fuel will give slightly better fuel economy,i think shell optimax used to be a denser fuel. I ran that once in my 2 stroke race go kart and it ran much richer than any other fuels,wasnt good.
To add to the poll,i cant keep up with all the different fuels today,i use bp ultimate in my b16
