I'm not sure who told you this, but I'll tell you the reason turbocharged or high compression engines use higher octane gasoline.

The turbocharger sees no gas, it's predetonation you're trying to avoid with the higher octane rating. I would take the time to explain what detonating is, or how octane ratings work but.. I must go to work.
