Downtown Rancho Santa Fe has a station....

We enjoy multiple gasoline stations in the north Dallas area that offer 100 octane gasoline. Ones I use are the pumps at Sunshine on S. Dewey in Sherman and at the airport in Denison and the Texaco outside Cresson Motorsports Ranch that sells 116, 110 and 100 VP race fuels at the pump.

Higher altitude = lower octane fuel.

Same situation here in SC (real gasoline that is, not ethanol crap). Fortunately my scoot runs fine on 91 octane.
