Absolutely nothing on a V6 motor.

unless you are running a high compression motor or a boosted setup switching to a better grade will do nothing but take more money out of your pocket.

or if you change timing and tune for higher octane. nothing on stock though

it wont give u any better mpg? thats wat im lookin for really

Nope not since your car adjusts the timing for 87 octane. You can reflash the ECU with an X-cal and tune it for a higher octane but with a stock tune you will not get better MPG
