I got a piece of advice about different octane fuels to only bother with
higher octane when you want to run a tank of Chevron every once in a
while through the coach because the higher octane will have the most
"Techron" additive/detergent.

So I filled it up with Chevron-91 and it doesn't seem to run as well as
the usual Costco-87 I normally run. The PO also regularly ran Costco
(warehouse store) gas through it as well. Is my slight loss of power
due to just the gas, or something between the timing and the different
octane or should I start looking see if I have some other problem?

It's not a dramatic loss but I can feel the difference.
