You need to try to run ethanol free gas most importantly, then you can think about octane. Usually its 90 octane when I buy it in Ga. Then if your racing-add 3oz. of octane booster/gal. You can get that at Advance Auto or Autozone. btw, use the eth/free gas in all your engines like: lawn mower, weedeater, generator, etc. They arent made to use the stuff out of the pump these days.
