I'm just wondering what ya'll are paying for race gas.
I know its going to be more expensive in the backwoods area that I call home, but I'm curious as to what people are paying on the coasts. The speed shops around here dont carry any unleaded at all, so I have to buy VP in containers I can move around.

VP performance unleaded $100/15ga pail = $6.66/ga
Motorsports 103 $105/15ga = $7.00/ga

 

Im getting TRICK 101 octane for 4.69 a gallon in So Cal

 

This makes me think of another quesion. What grades do you get a the pump in CA? I read that 91 is the "preimum" but what other R+M octane do you get?

 

Add a little extra "toluene". Make me feel like a racer every time.

0.02

Metro area in Minnesota, average 100 octane is about 3-3.50/gal

 

Yea, If I could find a source for toluene or xylene, I would be set. I am just trying to come up with the cheapest way to make a 95 blend for track use.

 

Sunaco 100 octane for 3.99 gallon =D

 

I pick up 5 gallon barrels of xylene for 30 bucks each

 

$4.39/gal. for 100 octane at 76

 

4.25/gallon @ 76 for 100 octane...

 

Whats the octane rating on the VP performance unleaded?

Also, who makes the 103 motorsports? torco?

 

Lowe's sells Xylene for $9 a gallon.

 

My Lowe's doesn't seem to have it. All the paint thinners/cleaners are mineral spirits and and Toluene blend.

Both the race gases I posted are VP
