Question 93 Octane?

Does anyone know of a station in town that carries 93 octane? I swear I've been to one...just can't remember where...

TIA.

I just got back. I didn't see the mixing chart.

I used this methodology:

.875 gal of 92 octane
.125 gal of 100 octane
= 1 gal of 93 octane

Then it's easy, just multiply each of the above figures by the amount of gallons you need and, voila, 93 octane goodness.

Oh, and the 100 octane is exactly $6.009/gallon, as myroncuz stated earlier.

Thanks for the info guys!

Guys, I've previously posted on this and here's the formula. You need about 4 gallons of 100 octane mixed with 12 gallons of 92 octane to get about a 93.4 ocatane rating. There are 2 ways to do this:

1. Spend $6 a gallon on 100 octane at 76 and mix appropriately as above.
2. Ad 1 gallon of Xylene w/ 3 oz of Marvel Mistery Oil to 15 gals of 92 octane. 1 G of Xylene w/ MMO costs less than $7. I always run a mixture of about 96-97 octane in my STI, but then again I run RA1's on the street also.
