91 is the same octane in Utah as 93 in California because of the elevation. You won't see any difference.

Just got back from the dealer and they gave me a "discount" on 4 normal lugs, $10 each, but it was well worth it. Came home and got my trusty lock nut monster removal tool and took out the four...
