I'm not saying to fill the tank with 107, but mixing in some 107 can have noticeable affect. My guess is the max usable octane is about 96 or so, at which point you stop getting any benefit with the stock motor.
As the video indicates, it's oxygenated fuel. Leans it way out and make it burn hotter.
