Mid grade is a tax on people who are bad at math.

Maybe for cars; my Peterson STC for both the Piper and the Skylane
mandates 86 min Octane which requires purchase of Mid grade...

Is that pump octane, research, or motor? The minimum pump octane that I've seen
available in New Jersey is 87 octane.

In high altitude areas like here in Montana the lowest octane rating is
85.5. Mid grade is 88 and the highest is 91.

You can't get that by mixing hi grade plus low grade in the proper proportions?
