Do you know if that is the case for all applications? I'm driving from Houston, TX to Jacksonville, FL in late July and would prefer to keep my 93 tune on the whole time, but I was under the impression I'd need to change over to the 89 tune to be safe since some places in LA and AL don't have 93...
