I think you need to re-check the numbers.

IIRC, those stations with only 2 grades, have regular and "premium" and not the mid-grade......or maybe it is mid and premium.

ANYHOW, I'm pretty sure that all will have a 91 octane 'cause some cars require it.

Your bike, however, will get absolutely no benefit from running anything except the lowest octane that you can buy at a retail pump. This applies to ALL vehicles that do not specifically require a higher octane number.

A lower octane number does NOT mean a lower quality of gas.
"Premium" is a marketing lie. The only thing "premium" about it is the price.
