[eminhello]

anyone know where i can get race gas (101 OCt.) from Glendale or Burbank area??
or even pumps w/ 97!

[335iheLLraiseR]

wouldnt a better place for this question be in the regional section?

[eminhello]

i dunno :/

[TurboBimmer]

Lucky americans. In Europe we don't even have access to race gas.

And it would probably cost an arm and a leg

Damn fuel taxes

[enrita]

yeah sucks, i found a place they sell 97 for 120 USD for only 25 ltr.....

[eazydoezit]

Try off the 210 where it ends in Pasadena. Check for the address, I believe its a shell who seels it.

[eazydoezit]

Oh and try to search the forums, there's a list of places in California where there are stations with race gas.

[yowhuddupb]

at the end of the 110 pasadena fwy. there is a 76 station that sells race gas. i think it was $7-8 a gallon.

sherman way and woodley in van nuys has 101 for $7.50

[Spydeputy]

i know it's not race gas but do those octane boosters help or hurt the car.
i believe it helps towards off setting the ethanol issues w/ our gas.
but to be used w/ every fill up a good or bad thing.

Um, your standard gasoline is higher octane than ours.

Even though U.S. octane rating is labeled lower, it is actually lower too.

You don't even sell (RON+MON)/2) 87, we do
You don't even sell (RON+MON)/2) 89, we do
Your RON 95 is like our (RON+MON)/2 91
Your RON 98 is like our (RON+MON)/2 94
Your RON 100 is like our (RON+MON)/2 96
Your RON 102 is like our (RON+MON)/2 98
Your RON 105 is like our (RON+MON)/2 102

Practically every station in europe sells 98 or 100 RON.
Find me any area of the U.S. which sells 94-96 (RON+MON)/2.
And MANY areas in europe go over 100 RON, into the 105 RON range...

You have what is sold here as "race gas" at your average pump...

You pay 2x the price of gasoline in the U.S. and can get over 100 octane ((R+M) / 2) at pretty much any pump.

Here, our 87 ((R+M) / 2) costs half of your 95 (R).
In the U.S. if we wanted to buy 100 ((R+M) / 2), we'd pay 4x of what our 87 ((R+M) / 2) costs.
In europe you pay a marginal premium to go from 95 RON to over 102 or 105 RON.

So basically, you have race gas _everywhere_, and it costs half of what it does here.

[RambleJ]

I don't know.. Im affraid of the Pump Race Fuel.. Im sure its been sitting there for a while, not good for my fuel pump (from experience)..
Maybe someone with a little more knowledge can jump in here and help me out.
Remember im talking about race gas out of the pump.. not all race gas in general.

[neoduffer]

does anyone still use airplane gas for racing? i remember my friends in high school using gas they got from el monte airport for the weekend drag races. lol

[Tommiexboi]

doesn't using race gas void the warranty or something.. i remember reading a thread about that.. because the ethanol mixture is way to high?

i think you're talking about C16 which is a leaded fuel, IE: can not use on our cars

we can go up tp 109oct., which i believe this is the highest rated unleaded race fuel available..

I read that entire thread.. I saw nothing that had to do with race gas....

[Tommiexboi]

race gas increases ethanol mixture doesn't it? that's what im guessing.. either way your car your warranty .. not my problem.. just trying to look out for fellow members
