Default May have a problem..waddya think?

My car is tuned for 91 octane.
I currently live in a town with the highest of 90 octane.
What do I do? Octane booster? I have access to 108 octane but no 91!
Opinions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Cooper

I think that you should be fine with the 90.

Where in NM do you live? due to your higher elevation you can afford to run a little less octane than your tune specifies. For instance here in lubbock, tx. i can run a 93 tuned car on 91 just fine.

just my .02

I live in Clovis so 1 1/2 hours from you!
A few of my friends here in town run a lower grade then what their tune is set for, just wondering.
Subtle02gt, what do you know of Protech there in Lubbock?
Any experience?
Cheers
