The repair guy also said he would use the highest grade gasoline because it is a lot cleaner than regulator.
Your repair person is correct to a degree. Some brands of gasoline do contain a higher amount of cleaning additives in their premium brand vs their regular brand. Shell V-Power gasoline is one that comes to mind.
In lower compression engines, it is difficult to ascertain any difference in performance between the various octane levels of the fuel used. All grades of gasoline contain roughly the same amount of energy. The amount of carbon residual is a factor of the engine design, engine condition, and the quality of the gasoline and its additives.
If you have a lower compression engine and want the additional cleaning capability found in some brands’ higher octane gasoline and willing to pay the difference, the only cost is to your wallet, not your engine.
