First of all, I'd love to see 93 octane gas. Here in California the highest street gas is 92 octane. As a kid, I remember Sunoco 260.... 102 octane street gas (my Chevy Vega GT loved it). I've been paying over $2 a gallon for the last year (up to $2.20/gal at the cheap stations). I've seen premium as high as $2.39/gallon at a ripoff Shell station. The San Francisco Bay Area has the highest gas prices in the US, although with a number of refineries in the area, we still can't figure out why (the gas companies just say it's what the market can bear). Part of the cost here is the addition of MBTE to lower pollution (yeah, it lowers air pollution.... and poisons our water supply - smart thinking from our government). But we are still not paying as much as our European friends. I've heard that the cheapest gas is either Saudi Arabia or Venezuela.
