You can probably lower the octane. Less chance of pinging at high
altitude--actually ran into some "regular" this last trip that was
only 85 octane. However, I've noticed a bit more ping with "bush
gas" and regular, so tend to use midgrade on cross country trips.

If you can climb hills at low altitude with that kind of load, and it doesn't
ping, you won't have a problem at high altitude. Use the same octane fuel you
use at low altitude.
