I have a friend who has had several race cars.  He said they tested the 100LL 
against 93 octane auto gas and the auto gas came out with more horse power on 
the  dynometer.  He also said the auto fuel ran smoother and had less problems 
with the valves after the engines were broken in.  Embry Riddle University did 
a test several years ago on Mogas and determined that if you used auto fuel you 
could cut your maintainence cost signifiantly.  You can check the archives if 
you want to read about it.  I tried Mogas in my mooney and found that it also 
ran smoother.  The only problem was PRC fuel tank sealer won't hold up to auto 
gas.  I have friends with experimentals that have their fuel tanks sealed with 
Epoxy Novalac that run the ethanol and so far have not had any problems.  I 
think most of the problems with auto fuel is the risk of vapor lock and fuel 
tank sealers.
