do a little searching on nasioc you'll find threads upon threads of information. and 93 is found in other states. if you have a cobb AP you should be running the 91 AVN map not the 93

You can try adding a few gallons of e85 to your gas mix, won't make a huge difference but might help a bit...100oct might be available for you, if you lived in the south bay I'd tell you where but your far from here!

2 1/2 gallons of e18 to 91 will give you about 94 and he should be fine but I dont know if that will mess with the injectors or tune cause it's e85
