93+ Octane Fuel for the Porsche

I noticed when I first bought my car that 93 octane was recommended for our cars. Most gas stations here in the West Coast have only 91 octane. I want to start a thread where we can list the gas stations that sell 93+ octane unleaded fuel.

The spot I know in the Bay Area, they sell 100 octane unleaded gas at the pump. You can either fill up the car completely or mix with 91 to get a 93+ octane blend:

Cost is about $4.76/gal last time I checked

Kings Union 76
975 Woodside Road
Redwood City, CA 94061
(650) 364-9620

I have not been to the following places but they are listed as well for California as having the 100 octane race fuel at the pump.

PTarga is infamous around these parts
I used 100 octane at the track. All it did was burn fast with no perceivable power gain. I have heard the difference between 91 and 93 is negligable in these cars, anyway.

I agree...

Steve, your white 911 looks like a turbo...in that event it probably does run better with 100 since your ECU on a 100 oct map will allow for more psi safely. On our NA 996s, there shouldn't be any power gains between 93 and 100 oct.
