That's what I am referring to. Exactly! No two 93 octanes (or whatever pump octane) are alike. My philosophy is to pick a big named brand gas station: Shell, Mobil, BP, Chevron, Sunoco etc or a few and try them all on the same tune. Some will perform a lot better and noticeably different. Take your top 2 favs, and tune for them. Preferably selecting one that has a lot of presence around where you live. Stay away from the super saver, walmart, cheapest gas you can find gas stations. The larger boys have too much to loose to be that inconsistent on fuels.
