I see a good 10% increase in MPG across the vehicles I own - only exception is my gen 1 as I've never run it on 95 RON so...
I still fully expect the fuel to cost more than I save in MPG, but at the end of the day, there are no negative effects from using higher octane fuel (I use Shell V-Power which I believe is 99 RON) as far as I am aware but there are benefits from using it even if they aren't fully realised on certain engines. I'm happy to spend the extra money to keep my vehicles in a slightly better condition, others may opt for the cheapest option instead.
One major thing though is that I don't have to commute anywhere so about 80% of my mileage is leisure these days.
