I noticed that most of the local gas stations have the sticker that says 91 octane for premium unleaded. Does anyone in S.J. know where I can find a higher octane gas? My S has no problem using the 91 but would like to find out if there is a difference with the 93.

91 up in Canada as thats all we got, other then sunoco ultra 94 but I am not a big fan of ethanol enhanced gas.

93 in Tampa FL. Rare to see 91. It usually drops to 89.

Thanks for the input everyone I noticed a lot of past threads on this but no real answers. I will definitely be using Chevron gas and I think I'll start with 91 octane and if I see problems go the the uber premium but I don't think it will be an issue.
