According to Motor Trend, the Turbo with premium 6.4 sec 0-60 mph and the non turbo 8.2 0-60. I cannot find 0-60 turbo with regular. However, I do believe that 0-60 in turbo with regular or premium would be the same since torque gives you the acceleration and the torque is 310lbs regardless which gas you use. Premium is faster for passing at higher speeds and higher top speed. The octane only changes the horsepower.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
"SkyactivD is also the slowest engine available in a CX-5, requiring 9.0 seconds to hit 60 mph when the base 2.5 does it in 8.3 and the turbo gasser (running transmission and axle gearing identical to the diesel's and weighing 200 pounds less) needs just 6.4.

Diesel torque: 290lb ft
2.5 NA 186 lb ft
2.5 T 310 lb ft
You're right, those are peak values, but the acceleration numbers are what they are.
But I think to answer the OP's question, the difference in 0-60 times for 87 octane and 93 octane is negligible (like 0.1-0.2) seconds.

Hope Mazda has something up their sleeve for the 2021 CX-5. Looks like Toyota plans on unveiling the 2021 RAV4 PHEV at the LA Auto show next month. They say it will be the most powerful RAV4 yet. Toyota had a V6 RAV4 a few years ago that went 0-60 in the low 6s, so if this can beat that and get excellent fuel economy, it's going to sell in huge numbers. They also updated the styling a bit and new wheels look significantly better:

I don't think that statement is true until the hp/tq curves cross.
I wish one of you lucky turbo guys would go out and time it!
