Default what do you do

What do you do when the only station in miles doesn't carry 91 octane?

Move somewhere closer to civilization?
Ride somewhere out-of-town to get gas rather than just to the local bar/Starbucks?
Put some gas cans in the cage and go get the good stuff?

FYI - For octane boosters that claim to raise your octane X points. 1 point is .1 octane, so it takes a lot to bring 87 to 91.

Just take it easy until you find some 91 and keep filling up every 50 miles or so. Had to do it more than once.

I do nothing....Cause I put 93 in mine. And if they don't have that, I just put the highest octane in that is around until I can get some 93.
