Default 95 vs 98 Fuels

Hi all.

Just a comment for those out there who are using 98 oct fuel in their cars. I have a 06 BF XR6 four speed and have always used 98 fuels for as long as I have had the car. Recently I've switched to using 95 and have found my fuel economy has actually improved (I was expecting the opposite). I have noticed that the power seems to have decreased but only slightly and hardly noticable (but I expected as much).

Anyway I was surprised at the result and it could be food for thought for those like me finding it hard to justify the extra cost of 98 fuel.

Maybe someone who knows more about the science could explain why I'm getting these results.
