I always thought a good estimate of % drivetrain loss for FWD vehicles is about 12%...12% of 240 is 29hp...240-29=211hp which is pretty damned close to your 218hp dyno tested accord.

Exactly.. but there is no true way to figure out drivetrain loss.. EACH car will be different.. and I don't care what car you drive.. 4 octane points does NOT get you 30 hp rofl. You don't know a damn thing about performance and never dynoed a motor. You just search the internet like a monkey and believe what other idiots tell you.. congrats on being weak minded. I dynoed my motor with 105 octane to prevent and possible det and it did fine. Then I went to 93 to see is 93 produced any det. 93 produced more power than the 105 by something like 2 hp. Not to say 93 is better.. but by your calculation I should have lost like 90 hp dropping that many octane points!!
