Can you use a gas finding app like gasbuddy to just plan the trip around stations that have 93?

using 91-92 octane will just pull more timing to avoid spark knock...detonation, and maybe reset the fuel tables.... But there are a large variety of fuel injector cleaners and octane boosters that do the same thing: boost octane.

Torco or Lucas but if you use Lucas make sure to use twice as much. If you don't use a octane booster and fill up with 91 and are that worried about it just don't go WOT until you get 93 octane back in.

You going to be drag racing at every stop light? If you're that worried, just squirt a few gallons of E85.

Your car will be fine with 91 octane.
Octane boosters (street legal) will not get you from 91 to 93. Not even to 92. |

On the Power Tour, only 91 available all through IL. Have a 93 tune and used three tankfuls of 91. Never an issue. Knock sensors and computer will do their job and pull timing if knock is detected. Run it!
