Lower octane autogas is quite common in mountain states where the

denotation margin at higher elevation and require less octane.

So that's why "super" mogas in Florida is 93 octane but only
92 octane in the Seattle area. Thanks everyone for the replies
(usenet is good for something besides arguing about politics
afterall!).

Both Seattle and Florida are basically at sea level. The lower octane is not explained by altitude difference in this
case....

Most of Florida is close to sea level.

You don't have to go far from downtown Seattle to be at 6000 feet.
