As stated, 91 will work, but if 93 is available go with that.

And doesn't that suck. We still have a few here that offer real gas thank goodness.

I go to RaceTrac for 93 only ever since I watched a show on Good Morning America which showed a Shell station with a surprise inspection. The inspection showed that the "93" they were selling people was actually just "91.5". I watched it probably 2 months ago. It was owned by an Arab/Indian family in another state out west I believe.

RaceTrac's 93 passed the inspection.

I try to only go to the newest stations too in hopes of having "cleaner" fuel since everything is new.

Heres a link to a test done a few years ago but I don't think it specifically names stations.

Exactly. Sadly with ethanol every time. Two stations within 60 miles have non ethanol and I will not use a few gallons of gas to go get it either. See how I beat on my car.
