If you're in Redwood City, the 76 Gas Station on Woodside Road has 100. I mix it with the 91 to obtain a close approximation. I don't know of any natural 93 octane stations though.

Hey thanks, I'm actually in the Vacaville area. The 76 over here I belive had 100 octane as well. I'll have to drive there again tomorrow before I run out of 93 lol. If you don't mind what ratio are you using? Half 91/Half 100?

I didn't want to go too crazy, so I went about 70% 91 / 30% 100.

All the S2000 needs is 91 pump octane. We don't have that here in Virginia so 93 is the default. Any performance difference will be psychosomatic.

Got ya, but tuned with the flashpro for 93 octane. My solution for now is to mix 91 and 100 oct to hold me over till I get scheduled for a new 91 oct tune. :-/
Lol I wish I did some research about CA gas prior to moving here. :-/

My '06 is FlashPro tuned for 93 octane as well. Specifically Shell 93 octane. If 91 really makes a difference be sure to let us know. The several times I've been in areas octane peaked at 91 (Illinois and Wisconsin as I recall) I didn't notice anything. Wasn't clocking quarter miles with microsecond accuracy though.

Sunol station right below Pleasanton has some pumps from 93-101 octane.

research and confirm. I haven’t been in few years but no reason for them to discontinue serving those octanes
