I dont know why people think higher octane is a better/cleaner gas. It just adds more anti-knock additives such as toulene.
Its not better gas. Adding certain amounts of toulene to 87 octane is (pretty much) the same thing as buying 91.

Another forum thread answered my question saying only the SS (V8) has the low & high octane tables and the V6 just has the timing pulled.
