There were many stations that carried it, Sinclair was where I went, I know there were random others. Then Hurricane Katrina happened and the prices for it at the distributor level skyrocketed. I am sure there have been other contributing factors to reducing the demand for 93 octane vs 91 as well on the manufacturer's side, legislative/regulatory side, etc etc. But when Katrina happened, the distributor told me all the local stations quit purchasing it in favor of 91. Which makes sense, they gotta compete. There is another station in OKC, in Midwest City on Air Depot Blvd, just notrh of the base and Lowe's, there is a rinky two pump full service station that sold it, but I quit going because the old guy who runs the place uses antiquated pumps (no pay at the pump, gotta go inside and swipe the card using his dial-up slow-as-molasses connection or pay cash) from the 80's, he closes at 6 or 7, and isnt open on the weekends. Too much of a hassle. I'd like to support the guy, he gets his gas from some distributor in Kansas he told me, but there's only so much inconvenience I'm personally willing to forego
