Remember, the available octane is lower in locations with higher elevation
above sea level, because as altitude increases, the air becomes less
dense, which reduces octane requirements for any given level of antiknock
performance. In Denver, it was (and still is, AFAIK) regular @ 85,
mid-test @ 87, and high-test @ 91. Down at sea level, it's usually regular
@ 87, mid-test @ 89, and high-test @ 92 or 93. Sunoco sells 94 in some
locations, but like all their fuels, it's watered down with ethanol, so I
only buy it if I have to or if I'm in a location where, due to
particularly effective efforts by the corn lobby, the law requires that
*all* fuel must be contaminated with alcohol.

Heck, no! Lost gas caps...gas sloshed on the paint...wrong kind of gas put
in...nozzle banged against the paint, chipping/scratching it...long lines
waiting for the attendant when I could've been in and out in 1/3 the time 
if allowed to pump it myself. All that and more was the norm when I lived 
in Oregon.
