91 octane corrects rough idle?
So for the past 3 or 4 months I have been having a very rough idle. Yesterday I was completely out of gas and I luckly rolled into the station of fumes. I accidently pushed the 91 octane button instead of the 89. I caught it about the time the tank was half full. I said screw and just filled up the whole tank with 91.
Since then I have driven quite a bit since yesterday and the rough idle is gone. I dont really see why this would fix my rough idle. Was it just a coincidence or is there actually something to this?

As for the tune up. My plugs and wires have right around 20k on them, I have run 3 cans of seafoam and a bottle of injector cleaner through my truck since july. I dont think I need a tune up.
The only think I can think of that would be a problem is that something in the fuel system is not working properly. I do not have a CEL. Although the higher octane fuel would not solve the problem if this is the problem.
