With all the price differences throughout the country, they shouldn't get
too upset. The best thing to do is to learn why the octane is rated lower
in the higher elevations. Having traveled around quite a bit, it seemed to
me like a good idea to ask and learn, so I did. Plus, the 85 would work
just fine for anyone. <shrug>

Yea, but only in their mind, as the 91 would serve them just fine at the
higher altitude, and when the get back to lower places, just put in 93
again.

If this was really a problem, there would have been a major outcry by now,
but its just not an issue, except in people's minds.

Still, this is a nice place to work it out and learn stuff. :)
