I think it's due to several factors:
- Government sponsors corn growers which results in lots of corn ethanol
- Many states have smog limits which reduce the number of lighter hydrocarbons that are often used to raise octane
- Price
- Older american cars had huge, low compression engines, which don't need high octane
Just my thoughts... I'm British by the way, and miss the fuel... and the country lanes!
