dude you cant even buy 93 where Im from! Here the best you can get most anywhere is 91. Your tuner can tune the car to run on just about anything, but you will get a much better tune with higher octane fuel. Just spend the extra .20 bucks a gallon and do the right thing, get premium fuel!

Don't get too worried about it. If the tuner added timing and the engine doesn't like the octane you are running, it will pull timing until its happy again. Just run the good gas later if he actually adjusts the timing for high octane. If he doesn't set it up for 93, you don't have to do anything.
