I don't know much about fuel, let alone race fuel, but these 2 interested me..

Sunoco 260 GT (LINK)

Sunoco 260 GT is an oxygenated, unleaded gasoline designed for high performance street cars, muscle cars, classics, street rods, and the like. It is street-legal in most states except California. With a 100 octane rating, Sunoco 260 GT will allow increased boost levels in supercharged or turbocharged applications compared to lower octane “pump” gas.
Sunoco SS 100 (similar, but street-legal in CA) (LINK)

Guess it would probably be a good idea to find out what fuels are actually available in your region 1st, though.

As for E85, it looks like there's only 5 stations carrying it in all of UT at the moment..

I made great power on vp109 and it wasn't horribly expensive. That Sunoco pump 100 would be nice to just use for the dd "pump" map. . You could always just buy a 50 gallon drum and fill it with the 100octane and add it to your pump 91 gas for ~94 octane...I'm sure the math is simple

I think 94-95 octane would be awesome on the street, a lot of tuners say tuning with 91 vs 93 is night and day difference. most e85 is what ~108-115 iirc, so it's still going to let u run big boost on 94-95 and only a couple more psi for vp109.

Make sure your parts can work with oxygenated fuels if u go that route. Some tial products don't work with oxygenated fuels.

Cheers

I believe E85 is 107/108 octane depending on how you round off the MON+RON/2 math.
Yeah, I'm in AZ and AZ,NM,NV and UT get hosed on getting E85 I'm even finding it hard to find 100 at a couple pumps anymore

my fiance back when I first got my old STi filled my tank with regular out of habit. She felt bad when I pointed out what she did, and corrected the prob by draining a little then filling with 100

:-D
