What did they do, get it from the same knockoff import shop that supplies Cracker Barrel?

The Atom would actually run on leaded gas (no cat / emissions). Had to do it at the track once when the fuel delivery was late and they ran out of street unleaded.

Speaking of fuel grades, Indiana used to be a 94 octane state, but I haven't seen any there for a long time. There's a Sunoco in Sturgis, SD that has 94 from a little before to well after bike week-and-a-half. The worst I ever saw was in front of a bar somewhere in WY or SD. Pump chained up with a sign that said "see bartender". Taped to the inside of the glass pump window was a note that said "Multiply all prices by 4" (99.9 cent max pump) which offered 85/87/89 as regular / mid-grade / premium.
