Is there a really big difference in premium vs regular gas?

Use 91 octane like Nissan recommends.

I'm curious about the impacts of using higher octane than required. I've been filling up 94 octane sunocco since I got the car, because believe it or not, it is CHEAPER. You pay more at the pump, but if you have a points card, you get regular points for 87-91 and you get double points for 94. If you add it up, it works out to 94 costing less in the end, and it's "better gas" My concern is, is it possible that I'm not getting complete combustion due to the higher combustion temp requirement for the 94? I am fairly liberal with my gas pedal on occasion, but I normally shift at 3200rpm, and maybe take it up to 4500 if I'm in the mood. The car does get redlined from time to time, but definitely not often.
Oh, and:
This made me lol so hard at work that my co workers think I'm insane now. Internet. Serious business.

Bump.
Will 91 octane over 93 make a huge difference?
If i use 91 for now, i could always put in 93 later on without any issues, correct?
Reason i ask... I have no problem with buying premium, it's just the fact that i live in Chicago, and gas prices here are a joke, but i'll do whatever it takes to have my G happy
Edit: Actually, i just looked around at gas prices. The difference is only about 15 cents. I thought it was worse.
