What is it you think we don't get? You've got variations on the same answer from nearly everybody - use the 87 gas. I think the guy that said we worry too much was talking about the octane, not about gas availability.

I would think that if you choose a quality gas station you should be fine.

I was able to get Sunoco 93. I think octane is much more important than additives.
