You will have no problems finding 93 octane. It's when you get out into the southern midwest states that 91-90 is the preferred swill.

You won't have trouble in KY either, if you drive through it. I think most of the Eastern states have good gas.
I've also found good gas in NC and WV, if that helps.

A word of advise: Shop only for known good brands.... Not all gasolines labeled 93 octane is as knock resistant as others...... 
I had tremendous knock with Quick Trip gasoline which went away with octane booster and/or a switch to Amoco Supreme (sold also at most BP stations).
I'd avoid QT or Speedway stations, at leats Speedway does not claim 93 octane in their high test pumps, but QT does... (I'd assume all discount gas stations are suspect of this tactics).
To summarize, 93 octane gasoline should be widely available but you must only buy from reputable dealers........
