I would not be surprised that it helps older carb-equipped muscle cars, but for todays vehicle, I think some are swallowing a placebo.
If it makes you happy and your wallet can take it, use the stuff.
Too bad cars can't talk.

Cars can talk. I drive 80 miles round trip on my commute, all highway. I filled the truck with 93 non-ethanol and got 19.2 mpg. Reset the dash, filled with 93 regular, and got 18.6 mpg. Yes, you can tune to get most out of the shit gas, but the engine internals definitely prefer the good stuff.
