I was told you can get 100 octane at the the Union 76 / car wash at the La Pax (south) exit on the 405.

You can not buy 93 octane in Kalifornia.
However, a number of Unocal stations sell 100 type octane for around $6 per gallon.

No 93 octane in SoCal, but maybe this thread will help you locate something other than the usual 91.

This is true, except I'm pretty sure you mean the La Paz exit in Mission Viejo. It's south of the El Toro Y, so the 405 has become the 5.
