Thank you for the info. I wasn't trying to create a pissing match. I should have said: "Its probably your imagination." I just don't understand why people want to argue against facts. I bet you could never guess I'm an engineer.
Here is a quote from the third web site:

OCTANE REQUIREMENT
The octane requirement of an engine in a vehicle can be measured on a chassis dynamometer with a standard series of reference fuels. Racers are not expected to conduct these tests but must be able to recognize when they need a higher-octane number gasoline. Keep in mind that higher octane does not mean more power unless your engine is experiencing detonation. If racers are not sure if detonation exists, try a higher octane gasoline and see if their speeds and e.t.s improve. If they do improve, probably the engine was experiencing detonation.
