You only have 91 octane because you live in a higher elevation. the same is true for where i live. You don't need the higher octane at higher elevations. I am gonna go further on this speculation, as i believe what wh0rsep0wer said is correct and the cause for the cars to run better, but since no one has logged data from before and after the fuse pull....

Some are saying they have filled up with premium (91 or 93) gas since day one. Well if you got old gas that wasn't up to standards with the high compression of these engines it will easily cause the engine to knock thus kicking you into the low octane spark table, even though you have filled with premium since day one. Always fill up from a good fuel source that gets fresh fuel often, as it doesn't take long for gas to go bad.
