lol, years and years ago, 6 of us were on the way to see Billy Idol in concert and we were in this awesome cadillac 4 door cruiser, 3 in front, 3 in the back row. 6 of big guys making even that caddy squat. I was in the back and told the other two to hunker over, so it looked like the three guys up front were driving along shoulder to shoulder at this series of stoplights. They must have been insecure in their manhood or something because they got pissed! Worth the laugh. Gas was like 69 cents or something. I can't even remember that far back.

Here's an indication of how bad food costs are outta control...my business distributes bakery and food ingredients...a 35lb pail of clear soybean frying oil (used to fry chicken wings) pre covid had a whsl price of $21.00 to the end user...that same pail today..(are ya sittin down?)....$73.59...now if you know anything about commodities..soybeans are a traded commodity...the fundamentals don't justify the price point.(.translation)..big time price gouging across the board...now my profit structure is percentage based...I'm making 3 times the money delivering that one pail today...as I did pre covid..units are down..profits are through the roof...as are operating costs...long story short...this is not good for the consumer...

Looks like a lineup of junk gas. 85 octane nonethanol? 91 is the highest octane? My cat would die running that.

DA is 7500-9500 here, data logs show it runs fine.

(Decreasing octane requirement with altitude)

You're basically saying that lowlifes require more octane?

Yes lower cylinder pressures up here at a mile high+, I've never data-logged my car but it seems to run fine on 91 as well.
