93 Octane is readily available in DC, MD and Virginia. Every station carries 93....Exxon, Shell, Sunoco, Chevron

You'll also find some Sunocos carry 100 octane but you have to bring a gas container. They wont let you pump it directly into your car.

You can pump 100 octane directly into your car at the Summit Point track.
It is pricey tho.

Aren't those leaded?
At racetracks, generally speaking, the highest octane you can get in unleaded is 100.
