Just a clarification- higher octane numbers by themselves won't make more power. Higher octane fuel is used in race engines because it can tolerate higher compression ratios before going into detonation.

It does this by, as 826 pointed out below, burning cooler.

So, higher octane fuel by itself in a low-compression(stock type) engine will generally make at tad LESS power.
