Default Where to find 91 Octane gas

I dont know if this is a stupid question or not but as far as I can think of when I go to the gas station i see 87 89 93.. I dont know if its the gas station I go to or if their all like that. I recently foundout that you can put 91 in your 350z. I wanted to know which gas stations have 91 octane gas, ive been putting 93 ever since I got it.(Gas prices are outrageous)

Thanks,
Matt

why would you want 91 instead of 93? Premium at gas stations are usually 91 or 93. 91 isnt any cheaper that I know of.

yeah depends on where you are. I believe all of the pumps around here (Southern Virginia) are all 87, 89, and 93.

I believe some states (I've heard of California being one) only sells as high as 91 Octane. But you probably spend more money on West coast 91 octane than you do for 93 octane out here... by a long shot.

91 is considered premium anyways. Well, I usually see 93. Only Place i've seen 91 is WAWA, but that is PA/MD. Don't know what you got in FL.

Price diff between 91 and 93 won't be much man. Just put in 93. bite the bullet. I know sucks..but what can ya do.

hmm thats true.. why 91 instead of 93? because of the gas prices. Their beyond ridiculous.. and I shouldnt even be complaining the west coast is feeling it even more. But just thought id ask.. maybe its just the gas stations I go to that happen not to have 91

If the 3 - 5 dollars disparity (per fill) between low and hi octane is killing you, you have more problems than the car you are driving.

Most stations in the east and deep south carry 93 instead of 91. I have seen some companies whose stores have 91 as their premium but not too many.

93 is the standard premium fuel in this area.

Question

If you mix 89 octane gasoline and 93 octane gasoline do you get 91 octane gasoline?

Thats not true.. If your out to spend all your money, and dont care about saving and giving your cash to the oil companys go right ahead..Everyone has their own opinion.. But dont imply that I dont have the money to be driving the car im driving just because id like to save a few bucks.
