octane def can help alot if you have the supporting mods. But you have to tune for it to get the advantages. Especially on the newer cars. For instance.. I have an 04 Sti that is built up. I can only get about 420 whp (to the wheels) on 93 octane. But you throw race gas in there and I can get 616 Whp. I couldnt afford all that race gas so I went 93 octane with methanol being injected right before the throttle body. Which basically is like running 104 octane or so. That gives me about 592 hp to the wheels.
