Does 100 octane increase horsepower?
Raising the octane rating (also known as the anti-knock index) doesn’t change the energy content of a gallon of gasoline. A higher octane rating indicates greater resistance to knock, the early combustion of the fuel-air mixture that causes cylinder pressure to spike.

Higher-octane fuel does not burn hotter. It will not clean out deposits from an engine combustion chamber. And it will not provide any higher fuel economy. But an engine’s octane rating can change over time.
