I was wary of 91 being the only premium here at high altitude in my T/A. Always ran 93 in TX and VA. But no problems, and none with the C6 either. If I were to take it east, I'd make sure I had octane booster available as soon as I hit < 3000 '. Probably ****, but I want all the horses available. I doubt that 91 at any altitude is a problem with the knock sensor with regard to damage, however. Just maybe a few less horses than 93, but I'm not petroleum engineer...

Save yourself a few bucks. Anything over 93 octane's a waste.
12 gallons of 91 + 4 of 100 octane = 16 gallons of 93 octane:
