I pay extra for non ethanol fuel. And 91 works fine here at 4800 feet above sea level.

It's called Sunol super gasoline and it's on Andrade Rd, right on the other side of the highway from the golf course.

Just goes to show how misguided drivers are generally around the world I guess...( by car manufacturers )
Remember, when we in the US are saying 93 octane, it is 93 AKI = 98 RON. 91 = 95 RON.
