I'm not sure if you're just referring to marine engines; my 496 Mag HO is designed to run on 87 octane but my 1990 T-Bird Supercoupe and 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S both require premium per the owners manuals. But you're probably right; other than the Shelby Mustang, new Camaro and Corvette, most domestic cars probably don't need premium. It's probably just the foreign luxury/performance cars that need it now. Sorry for going slightly off-topic again.

My boat is slipped with a 50 gallon tank so other than the initial fill while on the trailer, a gas station on the road is not a realisitic option.
Have you looked into either of these (or something similar)? I know they're expensive but if you need the 93 octane, this would be one way to get it to your boat.
