Where to find Race gas?

I know about the Foxworthy/Almaden 76 station w/race gas in SJ....but I am wondering if anyone knows a gas station between Milpitas and Hayward, and over to Pleasanton/Livermore areas that have Race gas, and roughly how much p/gal. OR where I can buy a 5 gal can of it....

Thanks

-Ted

Gas station in sunol has it at the pump $4.80/gal. It's the first exit after you come down the grade towards pleasanton.

The 76 station in Woodside/Redwood City on Woodside Rd. They have it for ~$4.19/gallon.

It's the cool blue 100 octane race fuel.

yea like Dave said the only way to feel the difference is with supporting mods (utec/xede/reflash) that is tuned for the higher octane gas. On the dyno my race gas map (around 98 octane mix) got me 15whp more over my 91 map. The gains were little because im still on stock turbo and didnt run more boost, just more timing.

Just to let you guys know, the 76 station above still sells 100 octane out of the pump. I went there this last Saturday. They still have a the "race gas" sign out by the street too.

race fuel

Down in Hayward is ERC fuels its off of lewelling i hav'nt been there in a while but sure hes still there. they sell 55 gallon drums along with the smaller ones too. but put up the money to buy the 55 gallon one get more for your money, it'll last a while too. I and my buddys put some money in on a 55 galloner sometimes for our motorcycles works out good. THOMAS

With the Vishnu Stage II, it's noticable! I just can't afford filling up with the stuff all the time.
