Where do you live?

I've been looking and asking like mad. The only confirmed place I know of is in San Jose. Maybe these ficticious places do exist... you know where more than a handful of people have said "Oh I've seen high octane at such and such a 76". But you never get an address :-/

I spent some time on the phone with 76 Performance folks and they couldn't find a station with Performance 100 (I think that's what their 100 unleaded is called).


The only places I know FOR SURE are this:

- Bob Worth in Hayward. Sells Sunoco GT Unleaded (104). $4.50/gal about 5 months ago. Pumped from 55 gal drums into your container.

- Toluene straight up from Sherman-William's (or however you spell it) in Emeryville. (114) About $8/gal one month ago. Sells in 1 or 5 gal containers.

If you find anything at the pump, for the love of God, please let me know! What a difference it makes!

Bob Reed's Olympic in San Mateo has 104 Unleaded. They are located behind Safeway on El Camino Real right off Highway 92. Bring your own container because they won't let you pump it directly into your car. I got 5 Gals for about $34.00.

There's also an Olympic station in South San Francisco that sells race gas. I'll have to ask a buddy where it is exactly.

You can also go the various speed shops because they sell 76 100 Fuel in 5 Gal containers for about $42-45. I've seen race fuel at Kohlweiss Auto Parts in Redwood City and also at Modacar which is next to Vishnu on Pleasenton.

And last but not least at Infineon Raceway and Sacramento Raceway.

Thanks for all the info guys. BTW do i need to mix reg. gas w/ race fuel or can I just put straight race fuel??? I'm assuming i'm gonna have to mix reg gas w/ race fuel. if so how many gallons of reg. gas per 1 gallon of race fuel do i put?

It depends on what you are doing. Why do you want race gas to start with? Yes you can mix both types at any ratio you want.

i'm going to be trying out this toulene thing shortly ... the xylene needs/should be heated up in the tank to assist in its vaporization (kinda scarey ... F1-style-like), since it has a much higher boiling point than toulene.

 

I've done the toluene thing. Two gallons with the rest being 91 beings you up to a tank of 94. Very nice.

I have concernes for long term usage of straight Toluene w/o also having the buffers or lubricants. It hasn't bothered me yet though

Hi mmboost,
So no ATF in the mix? I was thinking of premixing a little and trying it out on a 1/2 tank on 91 (so if it isn't kosher, it won't take as long to burn it out and i could always dump a more 91 into the tank).

Steve, nope, straight up.


Also, I went to Bob Reed today. He was cool about not having a can. I just asked him to put 3 gal in my tank. Nice guy. Check out his hopped up snowmobile, its pretty amazing.

There are only 21 76 Gas stations in Cali that sell racing gas. The closest one to S. SF is 3010 ALMADEN EXPRESSWAY, in SAN JOSE. The rest is pretty far, but that itself is already far from S. SF.
