it will only if your car requires 89. If your car is designed for 87, then 89 will provide no benefit.

What octane for a kawasaki kz900?
i found with mine, that if you used 91 octane you get worse gas mileage than with 87, you also have to remember the KZ models are old and when they were running the streets the most common gas was 87 octane 91 was pretty much race fuel. so if you want better mileage i would probably go with 87.

What are two ways to increase a fuel's octane rating?
Octane rating is simply a relative measure of how much octane (which is a chemical substance) is contained in gas. The only way to do it properly is to buy higher octane gas. But buying higher than what your manual recommends is completely pointless. Contrary to popular opinion, you will NOT get more power, you will NOT get better mileage, and it will not run your engine cleaner.

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.
87 and 91 gas?
Use exactly what your owner's manual lists. Using a higher octane than your engine was designed to burn, will provide no benefit whatsoever. No more power, no better mileage, and in fact can provide poor starting, and in some cases, harm the engine. Besides the fact you are paying more for high octane fuel you do not need. Using a lower than required octane can cause less power and pinging. This can eventually do damage to your engine. It is a myth that a higher octane fuel provides any benefit to an engine not designed to use the higher octane.
