Now i am notentirely positive, but its because high octane fuel burns easier, so the jet engine doesn't need to be very complicated to work in the air. Also the air up i the atmosphere has a less concentrated amount of molecules, i don't know why that has something to do with the high octane gas but, you never know. And the higher octane needs less, to do more. So it makes the plane lighter and can hold more.

Octane rating is the resistance to burning. For example (not real number) a gas with an octane rating of 50 will burn at 100 degrees Fahrenheit whereas a gas with an octane rating of 100 will burn at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher the octane number the harder it is to burn.
What is the difference in gas grades?
Gas grades typically refer to the octane rating, which measures the fuel's resistance to knocking. Higher octane gas is better suited for high-performance vehicles or those with turbocharged engines, as it can prevent engine knocking and improve overall performance.
