racing fuel

[buddyL]

i may behind on times but this is the first time for me to see this. this is at a convenience store outside of sherman,tx. woman in the store said there is a dirt track close so they have started selling racing fuel to the public

 

[Drumzilla]

[duanehydro]

Have seen this before, only up north though. it is equivalent to av gas might be the same duno think.gif Have not seen it down south......but then we are always the last to get the cool stuff.

Little more info here.  Looks like it is Sunoco 100 GT.  Check post #15.

When I used to live in AZ there was a Sunoco station near the racetracks that sold that. If I remember it was about half again the price of premium.

keep in mind that the gas at sherman may be different though since its sold from a different "rack" you would need the track down the gas truck diver and ask him what it was, for instance i was talking to the gas truck diver at kroger and asked him where the gas came from at the kroger in bryan he said it was from the sunoco rack, then i saw him drive across the street to the shell station. still only fill the boat with shell or exxon though.

There was a thing on the news a while back about fuels that can be bought retail where the topic was name brand gas vs. generic gas for lack of a better term. "Top Tier" was the term used. For top tier gas the normal names popped up, Chevron, Shell, Sunoco, but there was one that really surprised me. Quck Trip.

Not Racetrack, not Diamond Shamrock, not Murphy USA (Walmart), not Valero, but Quick Trip... I've been buying all my gas there since. I wish they has diesel also. I go to Shell for diesel.

Wow, QT is considered a top tier fuel? That's news to me as well....very cool.

Here's the list.

No racing fuel, but good 93 octane.

That 100 oct at that pump is bad ass!  I wish we had that down here in Houston area.... it would have been nice for the MX bikes and the race cars. 

Fortunately my boat only needs 87  jump.gif

I'd look for a Sunoco station near the drag strip. If it's anywhere that's where it will be. Sunoco knows who used that fuel.

100 octane...aint that ethyl? :grin:

That problem can be fixed in no time though.

I also noticed there's a vp pump at the texaco station in Cresson(you north guys ought to know where that it) next to that little road race tract.

 

[blazeracer]

My bad, looking at the Sunoco website they aren't showing anywhere in TX to buy, but the place I got it from in AZ is on the list.

thats a good store too. they have an early 30s ford hanging from the ceiling in side. ive bough many of gallons of vp there.

There used to be a service station next to Bush airport in Houston that sold race fuel. They had a pump off to the side all by itself. I think it was off Aldine Westfield. Some of the ol street racers here mite remember. think.gif
