Octane for higher elevations?
Hello,

I'm currently in Missouri but will be spending some time in Boulder, Colorado this summer. If I currently use 93 octane, which octane rating should I use in Colorado? 89 or 91?

Thanks!

The ambient pressure is less @ higher altitude, so therefore, 91 4k+ = 93 @ 1-3k.

All I can get here is 90 (7400')
