Some of the local tracks have pumps with 98 or even up to 114. I haven;t tried it yet but I hate running the Cafornia 91 gas. I am pretty sure that is as high as you can get in CA.

It doesn't help to run higher octane than needed and actually will not burn as well but I have read that 93 is about optimal for the boxster.
