I went to the VP gas station is Los Altos last night after work. 93 Oct. was $5.99/gallon. I filled up a full tank instead of blending 100 with 91 and it ran noticible smoother.

I feel like the gas is better than 76, but it did cost $80 to fill.

It's a good match with OTS Cobb stage 2 93 Oct.

Not that I suggest it, but they have 114 octane in the back of King's 76 on Woodside Road, Redwood City. Ask for mike and he'll help you out.

Anyone know what the Competition 91 at laguna Seca would be? I don't mean price-wise, I mean what the hell is it? Why is it "competition" 91? No crappy additives?

Cool that it is smoother and such. Suck though since last week I paid $5.99 for 100 at the 76 station. Ah well, that's the way it goes. I am gonna gas up my car today since I just don't feel like taking the bike today, and I don't even want to think about what it's going to cost (20gal fuel cell).

competition 91? maybe means the people behind you can smell the lead goodness.

Racetracks could charge way more than $8 a gallon i would think.

The kind you get out of the pump is unleaded.... Out of the can..most are leaded.

Not worth running a whole tank of 100 unless your tuned for it.

No one posted about the place on the sunol grade.
I fill up there all the time. 100 oct at $6.00 from the pump.
They have 106 and low lead 110 from the pump too. Guy tells me they have 114 in the back but not in the pump.

I have ben running it for a year now. I'm tuned for it. I figure 14 gallon tank. $14 dollars more per fill up is a nice trade off.

The VP in san leandro always has 93 and 100(street blaze) on tap, and can order you 5gal containers of ANY VP gas made (I had him get me 20 gallons of streetblaze 103 worked out to be about 8-9 bucks a gallon)
