I have the guys number at my office. If Matt, can't get it before I can, I'll post it.

100 octane at the pump in Sac?
 

OK, I'm bumping this to see if anybody knows of any actual gas stations in the Sacramento area that have 100 Octane at the pumps.

I know there used to be some 76 stations that did. Obviously, Thunderhill, and Sear's point do, but any other on the street locations?

Maybe on the way to Atwater? :-)

According to Scott@S-Squared, there are no stations here with 100 at the pump. :(

You can get 100 at the 76 station on plumb and lakeside. It's not at the pump but they've got drums of it. 110, too.

Wow that's interesting....Is that station still open? I thought that one closed a while back.

Yeah it's still open. The drums of 100 and 110 are the same price, too :D

time to go buy some gas contianor's :twisted:

Casazza Oil on Commercial Row 323-1866.

The only 110 octane I've seen from U-76 is leaded. Make damn sure when you buy race gas that you're getting unleaded, not leaded.

Last time I was at Thunderhill, I was talking with one of the instructors that told me "yeah, my student just put a full tank of 110 leaded in his street car". :lol:

I guess he probably didn't hurt the car since he realized it before he started it, so if they siphoned the tank dry and refilled w/ unleaded he'd probably be okay.

I thought leaded gas was supposed to come from a larger nozzle that doesn't fit in unleaded fill tubes?

I don't think the same rules apply when you are pumping gas from barrels.

Thunder Hill has 93, 100, and 110 leaded at the pump.

It was the Shell on Plumb that closed a while ago. The 76 is open.

That's only a problem if you have cats, though I'm sure most of us do :(

Are you Sure?

It's not cats, lead destroys O2 sensors as well as not being good for cats...

Yup.

O..

i would be interested once i get the 100 octane map tuned.. what about the 5 gallon drums? i've done some looking and there are a few places in reno that sell those.. are they worth it?

So the latest Sport Compact Car had a big article on Octane Boosters and Toulene that was pretty comprehensive.

I'll try to remember to bring the issue to the meet.

Yeah, they claim that a couple off-the-shelf type things raised CA 91 to like 92.7 and 93.0 or something.

Yes, awesome writeup, ugly broad in the pictures, but good information none the less.

Nudge...

So, I've heard stories of new sources in Reno... Can anyone confirm any sources of 100 unleaded?

One was an actual pump at a Sonoco(?) on 4th st. near sparks. Checked that and didn't find anything obvious.

Scott mentioned somewhere that you had to pay inside and "drive round back"... Washoe oil maybe?
