The laws of physics do suggest that lower octane (and therefor higher energy density) fuel will be more efficient *IF* the thermodynamic process of compression, spark, and combustion remain fixed.
With our Saabs, this second piece of the equation does not remain fixed. The knock prevention in higher octane fuels allow for a more efficient (thermodynamically) set of running parameters. (Of course those changed parameters are also the ones that make the engine more powerful, and result in some heavier right-foot action from some of us, at least some of the time). High compression engines take advantage of this with every cycle.
Of course, changes in elevation and air temperature make a big difference too.
