Purpose of this article
editIt is my understanding that this article should list the octane levels allowed to be sold in each state by law. It shouldn't just be a list of what octane gas is offered at your local gas station. For example almost all gas stations in your state may not sell anything less than 87 octane, but that doesn't necessarily make it illegal to do so. From what I've read, most states do even have a minimum by law. So going forward, we really have to provide references, instead of just listing what the gas station down the street offers.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:12, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Question... should the article and/or table be clarified that these are the values legally allowed? It is unclear until I read the above. Also, the table could be updated to show columns for "Typical" values found in each state? Maybe not possible in a state like California where it is so big and there are high altitudes where the "Typical" is different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timshuwy (talk • contribs) 17:07, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
minimum for mid and premium?
editI believe most states only mandate a minimum rating for all gasoline and do not specify for mid and premium. As long as the rating for those grades are higher than the regular, it should be legal. In my state the minimum is 87, mid is usually 89 and premium 93. However I don't think it would be illegal for someone to market 91 as premium.--Rusf10 (talk) 07:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
- after further research, it appears that only 19 states have any type of minimum octane requirement. I do not know yet which ones. I can verify Georgia is one and Montana is another. Although Montana's requirement is only 85.5, kind of pointless. Others are unknown. Maybe this article is not necessary?--Rusf10 (talk) 07:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
- I was able to identify 12 of them, what are the other 7?

- Support Articles style is that of a list and would be WP:consistent with other article titles that start with "List of U.S." Jerm (talk) 02:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
