We have put over 140,000 miles on our '02 Linear, most with 87 octane. On two occasions I experimented with changing to 89 octane for 5 tanks; on one occasion I changed to 91 octane for 5 tanks. In all three experiments, our mpg decreased.
Obviously, lots of variables can affect mileage. Also obviously, my five-tank experiments may not have been of long enough duration. Still, they would seem to suggest that higher octane does not necessarily correlate with improved efficiency.
