There is nothing in 93 Octane gas that will yield Better mileage. It is simply a higher octane rating. If your truck is stock you are wasting your money. The only way it could improve your mileage is if it is ethanol free and regular has ethanol in it. You also could destroy your cats by running too much octane for long periods of time. “premium” gas is not better than Regular, it is a just the octane rating and most cars made post 76 do not require anything higher than 87. Heck there has been studies that showed Premium gas tends to be dirtier cause it tends to remain in the underground tanks longer since it is not purchased as much.

High-octane gas is formulated to burn slower than regular, making it less likely to ignite without benefit of spark. The majority of vehicles are designed to run on regular gas, which is what the owner's manual tells you to use in a Ranger. Higher-performance vehicles often require midgrade or premium gas because their engines are designed for higher compression (higher compression = more power), and regular gas may cause knock. Using high-octane gas in a vehicle designed for regular accomplishes little except more rapid combustion of your money.

Not true.
Octane is resistance to detonation. The speed & power of the flame front has nothing to do with octane.
