I 'assumed' that all stations carry the same range and that it is a state thing, but maybe I'm wrong? Would different brands of stations carry different octanes in the same named grade?

Anyway, I always put in 91 or above I guess, since no premium grade is ever less than that anywhere. And everywhere on the car it just says "Use Premium", it says nothing about specific numbers. For those of us without owners manuels.
Here's an interesting FAQ from the Federal Trade Commission:
