High-octane gasoline contains more energy per gallon than low-octane gas,
right?  I mean, it accelerates better, hesitates less, and knocks very
little on Super Unleaded as compared to driving on Regular Unleaded.  So a
gallon of it should drive my car further (more mpg) than would low-octane
gas, right?  How much further?  Enough further to offset the price
difference?  What factors work into the equation?  Do I need to be able to
change the mixture setting, compression, spark advance, or whatever, to make
a difference?  Will the higher temperatures hurt my engine at all?
