Compression would make a difference.   On an older motor, higher octane might help, because the more carbon build up inside the engine the higher the compression will be.
But if you have kept it clean with the additives and such then probably not so much.

I have noticed some of the gas corps only put the better detergents and such in the higher octanes, so that may be of a help possibly.

My outboard is a 2006/2007 Yamaha 150. It's pre-injection and has carbs. If I remember right, I was told by the dealer to just run regular fuel when I bought the boat new, not high test.

I don't know about your area, but around here the good additives that help your engine only get put in the premium grade, so that should be a bonus for using the higher octane.  :)

Good point Jack! That's part of what makes the higher grade gasoline more expensive.
