Default 92 octane gas -> 91 in CA

As some of us are finding out, all 92 octane gas is going to be 91 startign 1st August. Does anyone who know what we can do about this? i am running high ( 10:1) compression with turbo, and plan on boosting 15psi on the street, and with this change in octane, how would it affect me?

one solution i tot of was to mix 1/3 100 octane gas and then 2/3 91 octane. would this work in the long run? the nearest place that sells 100 octane is at San Jose, and i am in San Mateo. A shop in San Carlos sells it too, but only by barrel.

Will appreciate any comments..

then if you go across the country and on the other side of cali you get sunoco 94 super $1.72 a gallon. But i guess i cant complain i live right in the middle and we are known for oil so we should still keep our 93 going strong.
