Headed to Chicago...Octane ?

[ecoboostsho]

I'm headed from Minneapolis to Chicago this weekend for my son's hockey tournament in Elmhurst...I've got the 93 Octane tune loaded but was wondering about availability of 93 octane along the way.  I usually get gas at BP gas stations and a quick google search reveals plenty along the route and at my destination however I'm not sure what octane rating they have.  Do the BP's in the Chicago area carry 93 or should I just load the 91 tune and play it safe. 

TIA...

All gasoline is oxygenated. I think what you mean is, it'll be oxygenated with ethanol.

... at the expense of the environment due to the excessive CO2 produced via production and no regulation of same.

Here's an article on an international study from yesterday's Forbes magazine:

I think pretty much everybody realized before studies began surfacing, which confirmed it all as a total crock.

Everybody but the government.

But for the US, it essentially replaced ethers (MTBE) as an oxygenate in reformulated gasoline.

But, in RFG, it also enhances the octane. Yes, regular blendstock for E10 blending is refined to 84 octane for regular, and 90.5-91 for super. The E10 does the rest.
