None. it will only guard against detonation. Higher octane will not detonate as easily, allowing you to run higher compression, or more boost. So, unless you are detonating, there is really not much benefit to upping octane.

higher octane gasoline burns slower.. therefore there is absolutely no performance gain by using it unless your engine setup requires it. use the lowest octane fuel you can get away with.

92 octane burns hotter i think than 87, but ya I agree totally with guys above on detonation. It seems to me it a tank of premium doesnt last as long as regular. But maybe i just drive it differently.
