There are no regular gas stations in the OC with 93--- the state max is 91.
You can though, find race fuel stations (100 octane etc) in certain locations as that falls under a different segment.

Newport Hills 76 at 2690 San Miguel Dr has VP 101. But, the last time I went by it was closed. Not sure if it was permanently closed or one of those closed for renovations. Based on a cursory google search, it looks like it might be open again. Whether they still have VP 101 though, I'm not sure.
When it was open I'd go there and get 5gal of 101 and top off with 91. Just over a 94 blend. 4gal would be just over a 93 blend. Now that I live in San Diego, whenever I go anywhere near Pacific Beach I stop at the Crowne Point VP and grab 5 gallons. |

If you go below 91 octane the engine will still run, but very poorly as the timing is retarded beyond normal parameters of functioning to prevent the pre-detonation and you'll likely introduce said pre-detonation. Pre-detonation is VERY bad for an engine. Also note that putting in a higher octane fuel than what is recommended by the manufacturer will generally not improve performance (without additional mods to take advantage of the higher octane) and is just giving your money away.

There's a VP Racing Fuels gas station with 100 at the pump in Lomita.
