On ACN swill, you may very well be missing out on 20 whp at 6000 rpm. In my observations the stock DME is designed to ride the knock sensor/correction system and generally take advantage of whatever octane is available. On good 93 octane I still pull timing across cylinders on Stg0.
What I should do is run my tank down to vapor, fill with 1.5 gallons crap 91 from a mom/pop and do a few pulls. Then add 1 gallon of e85 and do a few pulls. I'd compare the logs and the resulting csv dyno's. At least it would help us understand the influence of cleaning up timing on the stock rom with e85.

I live in California so yes I have the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with this type of gas (wohoo). Ive been filling up with 4 gal of 100 oct near me lately, but in california its $8.49/gal.
so being able to compensate with E85 and not needing a tune helps a great deal. And yes there is a very noticeable difference when i supplement with 100 octane. Car runs much smoother and jumps a little quicker.
