What do you mean by “worth it?”
If 93 is available in your area, there will be very few stations selling 91, so you’d have to hunt for 91 if you wanted to run it.
In that respect, yes, 93 is worth it. If for no other reason than it’s the easiest supreme grade gasoline to buy, assuming it is sold in your area.
Worth it in the sense as, for example, if a car is tuned for 91 max, running higher octane than that won't give it more power. But perhaps it will make it less prone to LSPI. So it's worth it from that sense. But if it won't help LSPI at all, then why would I put it in my car? That's just throwing money away.
Where I'm at, it's very easy to buy 87/89/91/93/94 whenever, wherever I want. So it's not a matter of convenience or hunting anything down.
But it might not be worth it to pay a few bucks per tank for extra octane that serves no benefit at all.
