Is the higher octane stuff such as that offered by Shell any better for the engine and prolonging my cars life?

Thanks,

I have been told the same thing by a mechanic , i use diesel and use a diesel additive which does improve performance in my van .As for using named brands then yes i would agree that they are better quality and since supermarket fuel is priced the same (shell is actually cheeper at the moment near me i use shell and don't need the additive
