[s-cars] Lowest octane for road trip?

[Mike Claire]

OK, OK!  But guys - I can't even drive 15 miles to the airport without
hitting 110 (hey I was a little late!).  I'll probably be hauled off
in cuffs before I hit the New York border!

Now if I could just find 85 octane, maybe - just maybe - I'd drive
like there was an egg under that gas pedal!  Laws haven't slow me
down, but the threat of blowing holes thru my pistons somewhere on
Mass Pike probably would.   Just a thought.  Nah - 93 it is.
