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.
Doubtful.

The only production-car I can think of which was optimized for anything but 91 is the Veyron. Everything else is made to run on 91-octane, as California is the biggest car-market in the country.

Mix any octane of fuel you want in a 370Z...there will be no varience on a dyno greater than what there would have been even if you didn't change the gas from pull-to-pull.
