Don't waste your money...

The only advantage of higher octane fuel would be the ability to either increase your compression ratio, increase your boost pressure, or advance your timing without encountering engine knocking. Since your 9-5 has a sophisticated engine management system, if you put in lower octane fuel, it will retard your timing a bit to run properly (albeit at a lower power output) As far as I know, the engine (and software) is optimized for 93 Octane, anything better than that and its just a waste.
Vitamins are good, take too many and your pissing your money away.
