Here in Los Angeles County, California it's only 91 octane.

Now check this out - going price TODAY (Feb 26, 2004) is $2.35 a gallon 91 octane, 89 octane is $2.25, 87 octane is $2.15, average around town........

Los Angeles County also has a special blend for anti-smog properties. (cost more)

93 Amoco Gold here. I've noticed that as altitude increases octane goes down. I've seen Gold as low as 91 in high elevations

What kind of octane-number are you all talking about?
Cause overhere in Europe, at least in this part, the lowest you can get is 95 unleaded. and you can also get 98 unleaded.
And I know there is a difference between RON and an other kind, but I don't know what kind that was.
