Bad gas?

"That's the issue, here in the People's Republik of
Californication we have some serious crap gas.  91
octane is the max (not 93 like most other regions) and
the anti-ozone additives don't help either."

Dunno how relevant my experience might be, since the Milano (despite
what we were told when we bought it) has never required what passes for
super-premium these days. But when we were in Tennessee, it wanted
mid-grade gas for any but the gentlest driving; regular was okay on the
highway, but I'd get some rattling around town. But in California,
regular is working just fine - can't make it knock however much boot I
give it. I figured it was the change from ethanol to MBTE; now that
we're phasing out MBTE and going to ethanol, I guess I'll find out. Of
course I understand that there are other differences in formulation from
region to region, just to confuse things further...
