Lower octane does not equate to "bad" gas.. It just equates to the ability of the gasoline to withstand higher compression and self ignition.
Also, please define bad gas. Even between the different areas of the States, different regions have their own blends based on their environment (altitude, weather, etc etc.) These blends also change according to the seasons.
