I dont doubt your claims but bring the Tractor Vet on. Theres no advanatge in using higher octane fuel then is necessary to prevent pre ignition (spark knock). Of course if you raise the compression to a level that requires it then YES it has an advantage. Higher octane is purposely harder to ignite to avoid pre ignition, why do you want to use fuel thats harder to ignite and perhaps leave raw unspent fuel versus a more complete combustion if easier to ignite (lower octane) fuel is used???.
I agree there may be other issues (fuel quality etc) accounting for your improved performance (Hey I hear and believe what you say) when using higher octane but I still stand on the proposition one doesnt need higher octane then necessary to prevent pre ignition.
