Default Octane levels and how to tell

Ambrose cove 6/6/09 $3.04.

From a professional gas hauler...
Look at the 12" tank covers on the ground near the tanks away from the pumps.
Colors are universal- look at any gas station, anywhere.
White= Regular 87 oct
Blue (most common for boats) = midgrade 89 oct
Red = Super 92 or higher oct
Yellow is always diesel
Orange is just a vapor recovery

I did notice Blue (89 midgrade) is very common.
Also, 90% of the lakes region gas comes from Portland Maine but Boston drivers can deliver from Boston in a pinch.
