Premium fuels in a small engine

I have a clio 1.2Tce, in this type of engine (with turbo and compression ratio 9.8:1) can i get better mileage and performance using RON 98?

I would use Shell V-Power to get the most from this engine. You'll benefit from around 10% more power than with 95RON and V-Power will keep the fuel system clean and therefore more efficient. It also allows you to use lower revs without labouring the engine, which, of course, brings fuel economy benefits.
