i emailed them. they say they don't have it in san diego, at least. gave me the following info, but i haven't called yet:
Matt, we don't sell high octane fuel under our brand name anymore, but
some 76 stations may carry it. I recommend you call Rocketbrand Racing
Fuels (Formerly 76 racing fuels) at 1-800-345-0076.

somehow my post disapeared....
I always used to get 103 VP Racing fuel in 5 gallon barrels from a local speed shop and then pump it in using VP fuel Jug 2.5 gallons for track days (back in the days of nitrous)
There's a listing on their site for local dealers:

As long you stay away from leaded, you should be okay. For a stock Z or one with no ECU adjustments to take advantage of the higher octane, I would think a mixture from 91 -> 93 should be sufficient and any octane higher than 93 wouldn't net any gains.
I mixed 100 octane to get a bump from 91 to 93 and gained roughly 8 WHP, but I certainly couldn't feel any difference (but the dyno said there was).

i went to the place I said and put in 1/2 tank as mine was already 1/2 full. Noticed that smoother idle formost. semms to get up a little better but that could be my brain.
