I have only seen 91 at CA stations; usually buy from cheapest place. Right now that is around 3.57 a gallon.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
I usually run premium in my 1998 RK, but i just purchased a HD service manual and it advises to use "regular" leaded or unleaded of at least 87 octane. So why the push for premium?
