Default Is 32 cents per litre more worth it?

Well, I finally bit the bullet and tried the Vpower 100 octane fuel... Thinking it was still 17 cents more than unleaded, I got a rude shock when I realised after filling 3/4 tank that it was 32 CENTS MORE!!!! WOW!!

So after abusing myself for not looking at the price and feeling very sick after paying $97 odd dollars for a full tank of fuel, I drove home...

After driving the car over the weekend, I've noticed a few things... I was having an issue with idle with the rev's dropping and the car stalling... this is GONE... The car would feel like it was leaning out as I reved it to the rev limiter... GONE... Running the AC, I have no more cut outs and idle issues... Car feels great... Best its felt for a long time...

Now my issue... Do you think paying 32 cents more per litre is worth these few comforts or should I get my car tuned again to better run on the 98 stuff (that is only 10 cents more per litre!!)

I also cant understand the pricing!! It used to be 17 cents now 32?! and its 5% etho!!?? WTF?!
