".... maybe I wouldn't have gotten myself into a hole (again)."

Remember where we started? The only reason I'm persisting with this thread is to debunk your myth about more octane. So I guess alcohol and propane both have more power as well?

And just who is blowing smoke on this one, Jim? If all else fails, start mocking people? If you have some data, let's see it.

Tell all the guys who compete in the Engine Masters competitions how impossible it is to tune an engine for max torque and hp on 93 octane fuel. The rules had to be changed to restrict them to only 10.0:1 to more accurately reflect real life conditions.
