Why such lousy gas in West Texas/NM?
We drove from NY to New Mexico a couple of weeks ago, and since getting close to El Paso, TX I have not seen any better than 91 gas anywhere!!! Even up in Albuquerque I had trouble finding more than 90 (manual doesn't even allow that!). WTF?? Is it the altitude, lack of interest in truly premium gas, or what? Does anyone know where to get decent gas in this area?

Between the altitude and the gas, I think I've lost at least 0.5 sec on 0-60 performance....
