Default Fuel in Lubbock

Can anyone help me find some 91 or better fuel for my C5 in the Lubbock city area? I just moved up here for school and all the stations around my apt are 90 and below. I'd also love to know of any good tuners or mechanic/body/parts shops that corvette owners in or around Lubbock know of and support.

Thanks in advance.

You would probably have better luck posting in the Southwest section.

I can hardly believe there wouldn't be readily available 93 octane gasoline in Lubbock considering the number of people who live there... population of like 250,000 isn't it? Not to mention the 30,000 or so students attending TT.

I would think almost any Chevron/Texaco Valero etc. would have 93 octane.

It seems the octane changes as the altitude varies on our trips from central Texas to Salt Lake City.

Give the guys at Texas Speed a call. They're right there in Wolfforth (suburb of Lubbock). They'll know for damned sure.
