Look for race tracks: specifically Infineon Raceway (also called Sonoma Raceway) or Thunderhill if you're way up there. The only places legally allowed to sell over 91 in CA are at/next to race tracks.

Not exactly true. A station in Stockton sells 100 but is a good 20 minute drive from our local oval track, so maybe it has to be within a certain radius but not right next to it. And is the Sunol super station next to a track (legit question, idk the are that well)?

Don't put leaded fuel in your car, it'll gum everything up and foul your catalytic converters and you'll fail smog. The materials aren't designed for it.

I believe our cars were designed to run on 93, so I'm not sure you're going to get much going to 100 (assuming you are all stock of course). Granted, our engines do heat up quite a bit, but not to the point of autodetonation to require such a high octane (I'm no expert though, just an educated guess). A few of us in the morning drive group got to try some 94 from the Sunol gas station, and I personally only felt a slight improvement from 91. Just finished that tank and filled back up with 91, and to me, it feels like the engine just pulls a slight bit of timing, with the 94 having a slight bit more better response.
