I just prefer to run non-ox in anything that required premium (no ethanol added 91)
Also increasing the octane doesn't increase the energy in fuel, it prevents it from detonating
Also, Octane Ratings across the world...

yes but ethanol has a lower btu, and octane booster with at least as high of btu if not higher then gasoline is much more preferable.
Its too bad ethanol is added to all grades of gasoline in most places, including where I live. means if it were possible to strip the ethanol out we would most likely be left with a lower octane grade of fuel. In the case of the 93 octane it might be 91.8 or something, the actual number I do not know.
