Higher octane fuels use different structured molecules like branched chain hydrocarbons versus a higher percentage of straight chain hydrocarbons. Benzene ring has 6 carbons, so pentane. Relatively speaking and definitely in low efficiency car engines, the small difference in structural changes affects available energy very little. I doubt it affects the fuel economy at all!
