It's not about the higher octane, it's the lack of alcohol as alcohol burning engines have different needs then gasoline burning engines, yes it will "work" but it will also work to dump a small amount of diesel in to a gasoline engine, not the best idea but it will work, veggie oil would almost be a better idea then alcohol.
