We go to SA and Galveston regularly. Anywhere south is no problem getting 93. Its when you go to far west Texas your options are limited.

Whats the issue with 93 in certain areas?
I like how the 7/11's that carry the four or five octanes call and price 91 as premium, I'm sitting there thinking "This is semi-premium." Lol.

Good to know if I ever make that drive. I was going to suggest flashing to a 91 tune prior to the trip if you have that option and make it a non issue.
You could also roll with your tuner and flash to a 91 if push came to shove.

I was sort of thinking that, but my ecu likes to lockout quite a bit during loads. I really don't want to be stranded after hours if the battery or "let it sit and cool down" tricks dont work and sct is closed.

I hear ya, I'd be a bit nervous flashing on the side of the road myself. I like to have a battery charger/maintainer on mine when I flash, which is not all that often since my dyno tune. But I do have my mail order tunes 4 life handy as a last resort with a 87, 91 on tap.

Elevation/altitude. The thinner air requires less octane. That is typically the reasoning. You can find 85 octane in Lubbock. I have noticed about a hour west of Stephenville is when it gets hard to find 93. I haven't had any problems going down south or east finding 93.
