Me too, especially when I had a previous turbo car (before my BMW) that had a 93 tune option in the tuner I bought (but I could never use it, that was AZ BTW, and the surrounding states). Yes, 93 is available in some places, but hell, probably half the population is missing it.
In some places...you *can* get it, but you have to live in a certain place in the big city, as in a few stations will carry it. Limited and still not easy to get. In others, it's just not even on the menu.
There are people that do a lot of racing and can get their hands on "race gas", usually high octane, sometimes more like 100 (not to be confused with aviation 100LL, you generally don't want that), but again, limited and hard to get ahold of for everyday use.
Lots of myths exist about gas, most of them are just BS, don't read into it too far.
