I'll have to tell them to change their stickers, immediately.
I've been to several gas stations this week, and they
mistakenly had 87 octane for sale.




Oops, sorry. I messed up.

87-octane is "Regular"
89-octane is "mid-grade"
91-octane is usually "Premium"

93-octane would be a super-premium, and is not offered by all companies.

In any case, as I said before, octane has nothing to do with "slickness",
and it has nothing to do with how destructive the gas is to the polymeric
components of the fuel system. Destructiveness is a function of alcohol-
content.
