I agree it may make a differenc eon other cars, but were talking about the alfa gta engine management system, and it will not make any difference to performance using anything other than 95 RON.
Do a few searches, its been discussed here at length many times before. The ECU isnt capable of making an adjustment to take advantage of an increase in RON.
