Higher octane fuels burn slower. If you're not starting combustion earlier (through ignition advance, which you have zero control over right now), you have effectively just worsened your combustion events.

No Subaru is "tuned to" a particular octane.
+1 pretty much sums it up!

Also, I too would like to know what made you fill the entire tank and spend $74 on race gas when you do not have EM
