The car is designed to run on 91. Running less than that trips the knock sensors to retard timing. It won't advance timing due to higher octane - in fact, the car won't even "know" that it's running on higher octane, it simply knows that the knock sensors aren't tripping. |

It's not the octane, it's the oxygen content. If you tried the same experiment with high-octane non-oxygenated fuel you would not gain any power, you might actually lose power.
