The RON is a measure of a fuels compressibility before it spontaneously ignites, or "knocks", and nothing more.

97/8 is not more energetic than 95, and when burned does not produce any more or less carbon.

The GDi is a fairly high compresion unit for a petrol engine and may well run happoest on 97, but when on 95 if the fuel does not burn properly for reasons of preignition the by-product of that is unburned fuel, not more carbon.
