85 octane regular gas mid west states?
I will be driving car to Wyoming from Tennessee. Will I encounter 85 octane for regular gasoline? Hard to find 87 octane in Midwest? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Again except for the Eco-boost engine. Ford says not to use E85 fuel in the Eco-boost.

You will not find the reduction of "regular" grade from 87 to 85 octane until you get to higher altitudes, approaching Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.
What you will find in the Midwest, particularly the Corn Belt, is wide availability of E-85 at reduced prices. If you are concerned about anti-knock properties and your vehicle is flex-fuel, you can get higher octane properties (typically low 100s) by going to E-85, at some cost in fuel consumption.
