Does the same fuel help with the mileage for other vehicles?

As once suggested by akhil(rossiter) the best alternate for speed97 is shell super, which doesn't contain any additives.
Not sure but IOC Xtra Premium contains additives for more mileage etc... which might not do good for these high combustion engines in the long run.
