Let me fix that for you. You while in a direct comparison gallon to gallon you won't get the same power, in utilizing more fuel your MPG goes down, while your power goes up.

It's a higher octane, so you get less knock and can tune your car more aggressively, in addition to the greater use of fuel adds a cooling effect to the engine, also reducing the chance of detonation, allowing for higher psi making it very effective in boosted applications.
