Right now, all of the stations near TV carry 90 octane, only. I use it in both of my cars - a 2001 Miata that LOVES it (10-1 compression ratio) and a 2012 Nissan (10.3-1 compression ratio) The Nissan service manager says the Nissan is better off with E-0 although the car will get used to the 90 octane and won't like 87 E-10 octane, temporarily, if I switch back. ( a computer thingy). Anyway, there are enough E-0 gas stations along any route I plan to travel in the near future until TV gets with the program and sells E-0.
