80-Octane Fuel

I going to supercharged my Camry, and as far as I know that a supercharged Camry most use 91-octane fuel or higher and using poor fuel will cause detonation,

In Saudi Arabia, we have only on type of fuel, which is 80-octane rated fuel, so my question here is:

What can to do to prevent detonation?

BTW: I will be running 5psi of boost.

ouch.. 80 octane fuel.. I guess you guys ship all the good stuff abroad and keep the residue for the home market eh!
well.. the only thing you could probably do is maybe get some octane booster stuff if you can get a hold of some.. otherwise you're better off not SC'ing your car.

I highly doubt they really do boost your octane plus I heard Vodka works better. :wink:

The octane rating is probably different. As in, it means something different over there. There are multiple ways to measure octane. Buy the best gas normally available, and you should be just fine.
