You are correct--if you have a NA engine. (since lower air density = lower overall pressure in the combustion chamber)
You are wrong--if you have a custom turbo setup and would like to run the same boost levels as you would at sea level. Granted, if you are running against NA cars, you should be able to run lower boost to be "fair". But who wants to be fair?

Well I really wasn't talking about custom turbo set-ups...they are completely different from stock cars, and of course they need high octane, they are usually setup to take advantage of high octane gas.

Well at the pump you can only get 94. But if your willing to order it by the 55 gallon drum you can have anything you want from our gas stations.  Ohh there is nothing like the smell of 100+ octane exhaust.

down here though i havent seen higher than 91.

The highest I have seen is 93 but rarely found. 91 is common here in Fresno, Ca.
I have only seen 100 or more octane at race shops in 5 gal drums.

91 is the highest..and even given that, the prices for it is about $2.45/gal
a little too much for 91..should be 94

91 (I guess it's "CLC") octane in California. For you Bay Area types, and FYI: there's a Unocal 76 gas station off Woodside between Hwy 101 and 280 in Redwood City that has 100 Octane on pump.
