Used to be able to get 94 octane when I lived in Denver. Best I have seen here is 91.

The highest I've found in Anchorage is 90, real bummer for my jeep(factory recomends 92) but my bike runs reallywell on it. She runs absolutly ***** out when I blend a little avgas in. 100LL at 1.3 gal to 2 gal of 90 octane or there abouts. I know I shouldnt do it but man the power increase is a lot of fun. This summer I think I'll just use a packet of rocket fuel per tank, as I've heard avgas will dry out your seals.
