Well, there are other things that can be used to raise the octane, so it is entirely possible to have the low octane stuff have corn gas and not the high octane stuff. I just don't know if other places do that, though I've heard that before.

It is about 15-20 cents more a gallon but in the truck at least the improvement in fuel mileage is worth it. On a 4.5gal tank, who cares?
Would be nice if I could get real gas within a few hundred miles of me.
