As Sammy said (he knows his stuff BTW, if you aren't familiar with his long-time career field), basically all the gas in Southern California is crap. I've lived here my entire life and can't say I have ever noticed any difference EXCEPT when I put something like VP 100 in a car built/tuned to take advantage of it. That's cuz it's all equally bad!

Kinda funny aside - I just sold a GIAC-flashed Audi ECU from my (dead) S4 and the guy said he couldn't feel any difference in performance. After some head-scratching, he finally 'fessed that he was running 87 in the car. STOCK this car requires 91 minimum. It's a high-compression 5 valve/cylinder twin turbo V6... with the tune I'm sure he was getting severely retarded tuning and almost no boost.
