93 Octane in Albuquerque, NM?
Has anyone been able to find a station with 93? I've been told 91 has the same effect at higher altitudes, but not sure why. Air density?
Thanks!

you're fine with 91, my twin turbo went 11:44@122mph on 91 at Albuquerque Raceway..
Yearwood sells VP's motorsports unleaded 103 that you could mix with the 91.

I've been told the same thing, but it's hard to find anything more than 91 in the Southwest even in the lower elevations. When I lived in Alamagordo, regular was 86 octane, which wouldn't even run in my Jeep.

Higher elevation is fine with 91 octane.

That's is what I was thinking. I never paid attention before the Camaro. So the fuel table will still stay in the higher octane setting with 91? I have only filled up about 5 times since new. Man, is this thing fun.
