It's only in the case where a car is dyno-tuned to run on a specific grade where there will be an improvement. Only then in the hands of a competent tuner will you reap the benefits of "more octane."

I assume that US versions of the 370Z were optimized for 93-octane. And since here in Cali we usually have 91, would you say if we are able to mix 100 and 91 octane to achieve a 93 octane level, that the cars will perform more to their peak performance? It would be a relative increase in performance from filling the tanks with 91...in theory.
