Negligible difference at best. Much like when people say their car is special and gets it's best mileage at 9 million mph.

The idea is the fuel is more dense and so you get more energy per gallon being paid for. The problem is that liquids don't change volume much due to temperature. There is far more variability/inaccuracy in the meter on the pump.
