I lived in Colorado Springs for a year (2004-2005). When I had been there a few weeks, I asked one of my co-workers why gas was 30 cents/gallon more than it had been in Illinois. He asked how much I was paying, I told him and he asked, "Where in the world are you buying your gas?" When I told him, he asked what octane I was using. I told him I was using 87 and he said, "No! Don't do that. You don't need it here. Use 85 octane." It was the same price as 87 octane every place else. Before trying that, I called the service department at a local dealer for my brand of car and he confirmed that 85 octane was all I needed there. I switched to 85 octane and experienced no degraded performance during the year. In fact, my gas mileage actually increased after I had been there a couple of months.
