Somewheres I remember engines making more power on ethanol (alcohol) than gasoline... oh ya at the drag strip...
An engine has to be capable of making use of higher octane fuels by developing more torque burning them. The fuel itself does not โmake powerโ.

Actually it makes maximum horsepower at 5,000 RPM.
At 1800 rpm you make about 140 hp not the rated 350+ hp at 5000 rpm.

Only place I notice any difference in the MH with running premium fuel os the pocketbook. Don't think the 1999 computer is smart enough to adjust the timing.

I also drive a 3.5 EB and when we are in low octane states, I will always pay for at least 87 octane. I do it because the owners manual says to run at least 87. At high elevation most regular gas is 85 octane because a not turbo engine can't use the higher octane. My turbo does not care is I am at sea level or 11,000 ft, it always thinks it is at sea level because the engine just kicks up the boost to make up the difference. That is why my little 3.5 turbo can run comfortably going up the steep grades at high elevation. And contrary to popular opinion, I do not have to wind the engine up. It makes full HP and torque from about 1800 rpms unlike some engines that have to be run at 4000 plus roms to get power and torque.
