In many cases, mileage plus will improve octane levels. However, gas usage will depend again on driving conditions, i.e., highway vs. street driving; stop-start traffic and of course short trip drives taken many times.

Does high octane gas increase mileage?
Not unless the engine using it was specifically designed for it. Gas mileage takes many things into consideration, and if a car is designed to use standard octane gas, the use of high octane gas will not increase the car's mileage - it is just a way of figuratively blowing dollar bills out of the tailpipe.
Does any gasoline get better mileage than another?
Yes. The higher the octane rating, the better the mileage you are likely to get.
Do you get more miles with super unleaded gas?
Actually the higher the octane level the poorer the gas mileage. This is because the higher octane fuel burns slower and less efficiently for that particular engine. I agree 100%. The oil companies use the term Super or Premium to entice you to buy the higher octane fuel. It is a myth that it provides better mileage or more power. Use exactly what your engine was designed to run on.
What type of fuel is best for a 1997 Ford Explorer?
Exactly the octane the engine was designed to run on. If your owners manual says, 87 octane, then use 87 octane. If it says 89 then use 89. The use of a higher octane than the engine was designed to use is a waste of money, and will provide no benefit whatsoever. No better mileage, no more power, nothing at all. It is a myth that running premium in an engine designed for regular will improve performance.

No. If your car runs well on a lower octane gasoline (i.e. no engine pinging or knocking), then putting a higher octane gas in your tank is just wasting money...
