Save-On has three kinds of gas: 87, 89 and 91. I know--we went there today
and managed to get 500 bonus points--we're on our way to that barbecue! ;) 
Anyhow, you just have to get to the right pump (I'm talking about the
Calgary Trail Save-On, btw).  The end pumps only have regular.  The middle
pumps have the choices.  The regular pumps don't show the octane but the
others do.
