i might just need to man up & buy a case because they sell that trash 85 gas at most stations (though a lot of local owners actually mark it as "sub-standard"), and 91 is the best within at least a day's drive. technically the altitudes here (3400-7000') make up for 1-2 points, but i don't like running that hard around here on it.
I've read the ACES IV octane booster is the best. I've used Bootane and was happy with the results for testing false knock. The ACES IV is expensive $79 a quart but treats 192 gallons of fuel, and the gallon size is $269.

Boostane's MMT did turn my plugs orange
