Default 90 octane

In the western New York area one of the gas stations that used 91 octane with no ethanol has changed to 90 with no ethanol. Any one else come across this and have you used it?
Thanks for any input.

I run 89 octane with usually 10% ethanol with no problems.

Valpo A7, thanks for your reply. You say you use 89 w/10% ethanol in your A7? If thats the case than 90 without should be ok.

Just about every station in my area has the 10% stuff. I know that Audi recommends 91 but 89 is running fine. I am probably down a touch in horsepower but the engine still has more than enough for my daily commute. I did notice a slight increase in fuel economy when running 91 octane but its not that much to be honest.
