Nope ... not unless your particular car engine was designed to run only on super unleaded fuel. In a car engine designed to run on 87 octane, running 91 octane will actually make it run worse and your mpg will most likely drop.
Be sure to periodically check your air filter ... one that is clogged will cause poor performance and a relative mpg drop. In normal conditions, the air filter should be changed every 12k miles. I change mine every other oil/oil filter change, which means my air filter is changed out every 6k miles.
