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.

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.

87 Octane Regular Unleaded. The use of any higher octane fuel is a waste of money, and will provide no benefit whatsoever. You will get no better mileage, and no increase in power.
