Did your gas recently go down in octane or has it been that way for some time? The best we have in SoCal is 91 octane.

I dont know when it happened, i never owned a vehicle that required premium so i never really paid much attention, I had to stop at 5 different stations when I drove the car back from Dallas just to find one that sold premium, they didn't even offer it.

I found 93 octane in Vernon TX, but nothing here in Pampa, went to Valero, United, and Wal-Mart, and stoped by the Philips station and nothing.
