I'm finding my Fit runs better if I use even one grade above regular.
It's not necessarily more powerful, but it certainly is more drivable.
I don't have to shift as much and I don't slow down on hills as much.
The car will pull from about 1200rpm in 5th gear without stalling or stumbling.
If it costs me $100 extra a year I think it's well worth it.

i clapped my hands 3 times before i got in my car every day last week, and i got the highest mpg on that tank than ever before. so now i'm going to clap 3 times before every drive to get better mpg. sike.
you will need a lot more statistics involving temperature, drive distances, road conditions, traffic, and like one hundred other variables before you can even start to make a credible claim that running a higher octane got you a higher mpg. if you had someone fill up your tank without telling you what octane they used, i am very skeptical that you can feel the torque upon acceleration and tell them if they used premium or regular.

Some folks spend their money on JDM eyeball candy and others put quality fuel and oil in their cars.... The next thing you know someone will claim that Jesus used regular fuel and used a Mugen shift knob and if you don't do the same you are going to burn in hell.
Sticker = Higher MPG!?
All I know is that I'm getting 5MPG more since I put on my SoCal Fit sticker. So, BOOYA!! 
Seriously though, I run regular, have been for 29,000 miles and I get 27-32 mpg per tank. That's good enough for me.
