There is another type of octane rating, called Motor Octane Number (MON), or the aviation lean octane rating, which is a better measure of how the fuel behaves when under load as it is done at 900 rpm instead of the 600 rpm of the RON<ref>http://www.texacoursa.com/glossary/r.html</ref><ref>http://www.texacoursa.com/glossary/m.html</ref>.
Here in Colorado, gas stations sell regular gasoline which is rated at 85 octane ((M+R)/2). In most of the rest of the US, 87 octane is the lowest grade available. (As noted previously, higher octane fuel can withstand higher compression without detonation.) According to this article from AAA, the stated reason is that most of Colorado is at high elevation, above 5000 feet (about 1500 meters), and the thinner air tends to prevent detonation. Therefore, in theory, one can use the cheaper, lower octane fuel without problems, and save some money.
