It might and it might NOT. If you're ever curious, put the car on a dyno. You may find (or not find

Maybe this is beyond the scope of some peoples' ability?

You are losing power. The ECU is pulling timing to compensate for the cheap fuel you are feeding it.
Pulled (retarded) timing = less power.
Why would you buy a car such as the honda s2000 and put cheap gas in it. I'd be willing to bet you buy Wal-Mart's "Super Tech" oil, and change it once every 7500 miles.
