A 10-percent mixture of turbine fuel and 90-percent 82-octane avgas can lower the octane of the gasoline over two-octane numbers. Many people think high-octane gasoline is more powerful than low octane gasoline. This is not true.
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.
