91 is the highest available unless you are in the Albuquerque Metro area
then you can get 101, 103, 107 and unleaded or 110 and 118 leaded race fuel
however! our octane rating is affected by elevation... in theory 91 octane at 5500 feet in new mexico is supposedly = to 93 octane at sealevel

are you comming through new mexico? the octane difference wont matter with the elevation change
91oct at 5500 feet is about the same as 93 oct at sealevel. Plus you'll be so down on power from the elevation anyways your going to notice more performance loss from that than you would from the octane difference

Its not bad right now because we've been getting TONS of rain. ABQ flooded quite a bit
I think farmingtons average for the month is .55 inches and we've gotten over 1.75... I want to say ABQ got over 2" within a couple of days so its been keeping the dust way down.

I don't think that octane altitude correlation works with turbos
although I haven't thought about it enough to know exactly why.
We just got new pumps at our one local station.
Nice pumps, but they dropped all octane values by
1, so 90 is the highest I can get up the hill.
Where do you get 100 in ABQ?
