it allows extraction of more power due to a higher resistance to detonation (thus higher compression) but does not actually contain more energy.

the fuel itself does not contain more power simply because the RON is higher.

it lets engines be higher strung.

I'll always be using 98. Every EFI car I have owned has gotten better mileage, despite costing more to fill up the $/km works out to be better. Cars are always 'learning' anyway, advancing and retarding the ignition, so might as well put the best fuel in to let it reach is potential.
