I may be mistaken here but isn't high octane petrol "made" by adding a blend of distillates like toluene and benzene to standard grade?

My cars & the girlfriend's 02 TL run flawlessly on the 85 oct. fuel in Utah. Since the advent of knock sensors and electronic ignition, I kinda don't see the point in running high octane unless you have a forced induction engine or some other non-standard condition. Or maybe I am just delusional and imagine that the cars are running well..
