its gas - mtbe + ethanol = lower octane rating.
I'm afraid that all the major gas stations will switch over to 91 in the
next few weeks. Some of them may even sell 88.5 instead of 89 in the
meantime.
Even the ones that are still labelled 92 are likely selling 91.

I only noticed 91 at 76 stations for a few weeks now. Ever since I have been
going only to Chevron.
I thought I heard somewhere that because they are adding more ethanol, it
lowers the octane rating. Someone care to comment?
