The Truth About Gas and Octane

Bare with me, I'd like a solid truthful answer to this:

Does the number in Octane Level Really Matter when you're filling up at the pump? I've never seen a noticable difference if I get better milage from higher octane VS. the lower octane! (Hub and I argue about this i.e. = saving $$ -& all....)

Currently in Northern CA. we're paying as much as $2.57 for the Premium gas at places like Shell - for example... the lowest octane is selling for $2.11 a gallon today. BTW - My car is a V6 automatic with overdrive.

Help, Oh Great & Wise tilted Motor Men!!
