However, in engines after tuning, fuel with a higher octane number is recommended to take full advantage of the engine modification possibilities.
Premium fuels such as V-Power have one additional advantage. It is an increased amount of a component that has washing properties and reduces carbon deposits on engine components.
There is an interesting new story online (CTV News) that showed a car tuned for 89 got worse mileage when 91,93 was used.

"I read that if every consumer passenger car on the road was electric, the emission savings would be about 1%. "

Maybe you should do a little more reading. Depending on the state and the electric energy source, cradle to grave emission savings of EV over ICE can be in the 60 - 65% range.

I’ve read the same that 60 percent range, and will delve into electrified vehicles next time!

There was additional context that you're skipping, however, I don't even remember why I was typing on that topic - even if it was 100% I wouldn't want electric for myself.
