I only know of one place that sells it... a BP in Garner. It's $7.69. Where else have you seen it, and for how much?

it's not that uncommon. it's not like there's a law limiting compression ratio on street legal vehicles.

you don't have to drive it daily for it to be street legal

lol oops, not supposed to be in classifieds. Moderator... feel free to move to The Garage.

The car's spark timing is advanced quite a bit. 93 is normally fine, but when racing in hot weather detonation is possible. So... around town I'll stick to 93, but on hot weekends I'm going to at least bring some 100 with me.

you /could/ add xylene or tulene from home depot for the same effect, though prolonged use can gum up your lines. there's a sunoco or something in angier near the airfield that has it, the airfield has leaded, and then steve asheworth in fuquay has that V-something that's like 120. It's been years since I was interested in it so no idea on price.

yeah, bp in cary at the intersection of kildare/maynard sells it too. that's where i get most of mine. small quantities of 110 or c16 can be had from mayhem motorsports off of germantown rd. in raleigh or from rpm on hwy 70 in garner. i think rpm is a dealer for VP now?

^^^^^nah, 100 is unleaded. most everything above that is leaded though, excluding some of the specialty racing fuels/additives.

you could get 100LL aviation gasoline for a lot cheaper than $7.69/gallon (probably half that price), if you can use leaded gas.

another option would be setting up to run E85...I saw some for sale the other day.

100 octane was $7 and 110 octane was $10/gallon at NJMP on Saturday if I remember correctly.

most airports have 100LL since many GA aircraft use that fuel. I'm sure a small/county airport manager will sell you some.

Yeah, but you can't pump it directly in your car at the airport. Gotta take a drum or a couple of gas cans.

it's about $7.50 for the 110 at Middlesex when I was there a couple months ago. It seems to be very close to the price of the Cary gas station
