Are you drilling for it?
I usually get my premium at a gas station, it takes less effort.
Did you look right to the right of the mid grade? Its usually there. Sometimes they put it in the middle of the mid grade and the "unleaded" to *** with you... maybe thats the problem? Regardless , good luck with your search.

The OP's car will be fine on straight 87. There is no need to use an octane booster.

Well tell the OP to apologize for hitting you in the head with a hockey puck. Wait he didnt. No need to take it out on him. Gas is a ***** in SC too. Premium is going for 4.30 a gallon.

DFW area - no issues w/Prem, Mid, nor Reg.
BUT - back to the original question - running regular will not harm your engine. The electronics will monitor the timing and adjust accordingly. Floor it - or granny it - no matter. Performance will be a little off runing on Reg...
Good luck

I found some in Mooresville, exit 36.
I filled up the Z a couple of weeks ago and have not really driven it, been using the Maxima since it takes regular
GL with the search, I heard shipments should be coming in soon so don't panic!
Earlier this week I saw a bunch of idiots filling several gas containers and putting them in the back of their trucks. One caught fire leaving the station. The entire truck was lit up in minutes.
