Using a higher octane gas than the engine was designed for (87 for my '99 4-cyl) is a waste of money and may actually cause a decrease in mileage. Higher octane doesn't mean it is "better", it just means that it burns at a different rate (slower) and is less prone to knocking and pinging from too-rapid ignition.
For the record, my 99 SE gets 24-25 running around town and 30-33 on the highway.
