Not sure how that relates to our system of octane measurement, but running higher octane than the manual suggests is not an advantage, and will cost you mileage and power. Gas with ethanol will cost you mileage, but a F.I. engine will correct for the leaner mixture so it will run about the same.
Run higher octane "Premium" only if you need to get away from gas with ethanol.
