Default seems the article doesn't take into account a few things

the argument from the gas companies is still correct, to burn cleanly *in a normally aspirated engine* at altitude, 85 might be fine (this won't make a clear dif between carburated and FI) but a non-normally aspirated (turbo or supercharger)engine still needs the higher requirements as the altitude is compensated for (for the most part) by the increased pressure.

Do what I do. Add some Sunoco Euro fuel w/ each fill up. Gives a good kick!

It's not that far for us. Then again, I'm always in that area so it doesn't seem far for me.
