90 octane gas?

The highest rating (other than paying $6.00 a gallon for vp racing 100 unleaded or 110 leaded at one store) in southern cali is 91 octane. So that is my only option really. I use a can of octane boost every other fill up with 91 octane. i only use chevron or mobil gas and every once in a while you can tell when you get a bad tank. studders and has pinged before. can of octane usually helps that out. my 2 cents
I run 94 octane for $2.42 a gallon for now.
if you have to run 90 or 91 and you have a chip have it tuned for it and you will be ok
or if your truck is stock go to a dealer and tell them you want the truck reflashed so it will stop pinging

Any one use VP's C5? I run it in my quad with 91, Townsends said it raises to 99 or 100 octane. It's expensive enough I'd figure it'd work but I don't know about using it in the L. 1 bottle does 20 gallons. It's possible I've been running 92 or 93 octane this whole time, seeing as I'm not in the 13:1 compression the engine guy said it'd be fine. Heres a link. http://vpracingfuels.com/C5.html?mgiToken=0C15B7C81487CD0B9E
It says not to use with cats though. I'm just kinda wondering if it even does what it says or if I should go back to the 50/50 mix of 110vp and 91. The bottles are just way easier.
