91 octane pump gas will give you more power than anything else including race gas

E85 octane sting is 105 so not sure how 91 octane will make
More power. And I have 10:1 compression so do need higher octane fuel. But do I need race fuel? No but more and more cars are using e85. And I think some believe it's 85 octane. It's 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline

Higher octane won't yield more power out of a engine designed to be compatible with low octane. The higher octane of E-85 can make more power than 91 octane pump gas for sure, but it's lower BTU content per unit will require roughly 15% more fuel to make a proper fuel ratio.
