It's irrelevant to current car owners.

The point is, the higher your compression, the more efficient your motor. This is a fuel saving thing and is occurring to urge manufacturers to produce higher compression engines. Turbocharged, maybe.

A given motor only needs the octane it needs and feeding it anything higher does nothing except possibly waste money.
