Worse case is you will have to convert your AEIO 580 to a AEIO 540D which can run on 94 UL. I believe it can be done by replacing the connecting rods and pistons with 540 parts. You may even be able to get away with just replacing the pistons.

Not cheap, I know but better than grounding the airplane
