I don't think you will find 93(+) at the pump. Some of the 76 stations sell race gas from a 55 gal. drum. Just call around to find out who sells it. Just make sure its unleaded. Last time I bought some it was $5.25 for 103 octane. It will be more by now.

My '06 was tuned on 93 octane. The times I used 91 octane in the Midwest I didn't notice any performance differences nor was I expecting any since the requirement is 91 octane and higher than required octane does not mean higher power just less likely engine knock which is already taken care of in 91 and the ECU and sensors. Of course I wasn't running on a dyno or measuring lap times. If you think there's any benefit of 93 over 91 you can buy octane booster at any auto parts store which is gonna be easier than driving around searching for 93.

(My twin turbocharged Ford truck does get more power with 93 over 87 but it's quite different and it runs just fine on 87 as expected even when towing.)

AVGAS? Been awhile since I visited a FBO or are they selling MOGAS now? We used to run our snowmobiles on 100 AVGAS long (long!) ago. Have no idea how 100LL (AVGAS is leaded) would work in the S2000.
