93 Octane Gas in San Diego

Does anyone know if there are any gas stations in San Diego that offer 93 octane gas? My M3 got spoiled on the higher octane gas in Europe and now that I'm in Cali I feel a decrease in performance.

Thanks!

Not 93, but there are a few that sell 100 octane at the pump, depends on where in SD you're at. I know of one in PB on Ingraham and one in Rancho Santa Fe on Mollison for example...

I'm fairly certain no where in Ca is 93 octane available. However, there are selective gas stations (Unocal 76 being one) that have 100 octane. Beware, it is expensive $9 a gallon where I live

I'm sure there's a selective station down in SD that has 100 octane. Mixing a few gallons of 100 will be your most efficient way of achieving a 93 octane blend. I'm about an hour north of San Diego, maybe someone from that area will be able to assist you better. I agree with you, I've mixed 100 in my tank with 91 before and can feel a difference on about a 93 vs 91 octane for this car. Not huge but a difference.
