octane rating in carolinas?

I'll be coming down for mustang week in 7 days, and curious if you guys have 93 down there? my cars tuned for it, so if all you have is 91 i'll have to get a degree or two of timing pulled out of it.

Yep! That's what I use. No problem in SC, NC.

Torco is your friend

I can squeeze out another 4-5 degrees of timing with one can to 5 gallons of 93.

You shouldn't have a problem. There's a place here in Hickory that sells something absurd...I think it's like 118. It's also like $9 a gallon on a good day...but hey, at least you can get it if you need it!
