I found a guy selling a 93 cheap. Would 91 be ok at around 4000 feet?

What would 91 be in Leadville? 10,000+ feet. I always though less oxygen would decrease power. and then you are buying 10percent or more ethanol(Corn) so you only get 90 percent of 91 octane and at altitude -I have my conspiracy theories but it is pretty certain we all get screwed by the oil industry
but olathe corn is badasssigpic

octane rating is calculated after the corn is added to the fuel. By the way, you're getting screwed more by the farmers than the oil companies every time you fuel up with any ethanol added fuel. You're also contributing to the starvation of less fortunate people too. I'm not kidding.
A gallon of gas sold at sea level gains about 0.8 octane rating for every 1000 feet above sea level it is used due to lack of atmospheric pressure (assuming car is normally aspirated too).
