Excess fat only occurs when there is a difference between calories consumed vs. burned. It could be 10calories per day, it could be 1000.
The simple fact of the matter is a calorie is a measurement of energy. If buy 10gallons of gas for your car a day, and use 8... you'll need a place to store said gas, carrying it around with you. It matters not if you buy supreme or regular to this equation. Sure supreme works better for engines designed for it, but the type entered in does not change the equation before and after the calculation.
Now of course you'll want to follow up with quality of gas, state of the engine, any water in the gas, et al. You fail to realize that does not matter in the statement of the equation. You can get 100mpg or 1, hell there could be a leak in tank, it doesn't matter. If you buy 10gallons, use 8, you'll have some left over.
Fat is much the same.

87 octane doesn't burn the same as 95. I get better mileage with a higher octane, which proves my point at least in your comparison. I've gotten as high as 35 mpg with 93 octane. The highest I've gotten with 87 is about 31. Assuming fat is the same, the comparison stands in my eyes.
