Does anyone know why all the name brand gas stations ( with the exception of the Sunoco near the Margate ) have only 91 Octane for super unleaded? The price is better than down here in Mass but the octane here is 93 for the super. Does the lower octane number have something to do with the 600 feet above sea level in the lakes region? The Sunoco station has a separate pump nozzle for their "Ultra 93" so it IS available but for more money....
