^ I would think no, blend it out with some 91 when your done for the day/weekend. The 109 stuff is heavy duty race fuel. Not really ment for long term storage.

It was around $6.50 about a week ago... and gas prices are on a rise again, so it may be around $7.00 by now.

ONLY their specialty blended race fuels

their pump stuff is fine to use as regular gas

believe me i've used these custom race fuels that melt your fuel system (and your lungs and eyes and anything it touches really) lol

Still under construction. Keep driving by when I am in the area and wishing it was open.

From what I heard from bugeyerex02, VP fuels in Los Altos (when it was open) sold 91, 93, and 100 octane or was it 87, 93, and 100....something like that.

I am waiting for the 93...yum.
