Where in the Orange County/ Los Angeles area can you find 93+ octane fuel?

I am in the San Jose are. There is no 93 octane here but we have a few 76 gas stations selling 100 octane. So I Mix ~ 4 gallons of 100 with the rest 91 to fill her up.

If you know the city of Orange.... there is a station just West of the traffic circle... they sell higher octanes, but I think for 'off highway use only'....

I have been concerned about using in my Pcar because worried about damage from additives.

Yeah, I thought that it was interesting that during my travels to San Diego this past summer that I did not see anything higher then 91 at most stations.

Is there a reason for this, and is it specific to California?

I guess that I can consider myself lucky that here in BC (Canada) that the Chevron stations carry "Supreme Plus" which is 94 octane which is quite

noticable over 91 in the way the engine responds. It's not cheap though, the equivalent of $4.50 US/gal

Just a guess, but I would bet that since California is so stringent on pollution that those who only require 87 and use 93 out of the myth that you gain performance is still floating around, in actuality will not have complete combustion and pollute more. Just a theory! So the locals limit the octane.
