Fuel Tuning Question

Currently have my car tuned for 91 octane and i just moved it from the west to east coast where there is only 90 and 93 octane. Will it be ok if i runs on 90 or 93 octane till i can get a tune?

Run the 93 oct. and there will no problem.
I've never heard of 90 oct., but if you have to run it turn the boost down 1-2 psi just to be safe.

Run the 93, your car will run perfectly fine and will just be on the conservative side.
