Investigate to see if it has a knock sensor. Traditionally, that's the sensor that retards the timing and reduces boost to save the internals from detonation.
There's a fine line between octane and FE. Many times, lower octane fuel forces better FE, but reduces performance. Sometimes, the higher octane fuel allows better low-RPM operation (and consequently improves in-town FE) but costs more per gallon.
It may require some testing to see what is both most efficient and cost-effective.
