The old full service gas station on pyramid and prater is now a VP station? I saw it on my way to target today. They sell normal (87 octane I presume, it had a cheap price), 93 and 100 octane(no price on the big sign)gas. I should have my clutch/radiator in by wednsday so I'll drive by and see what the prices are. If theyr'e not crazy $ my Jdm ecu would love some 93.

I've heard the 100 is like $6 a gallon.

= $5.91 in bulk at Allied Washoe. If you can find it in a pump in the greater Reno/Sparks area for less or not, even, let us know!

Yeah VP Racing Fuels 87, 93, 100 from the pump self serve. It was $5 for 93 and $6 for 100 last time I was there.

So there is 93 at the pump in Sparks? That's pretty sweet.

I don't know. with 87 at $2.79, 89 at $2.89 and 91 at 2.99, 93 should be $3.09, not $5.00. I can mix 91 and 100 and get something around 95+ for $4.50...

^Yup, but if 93 is at the pump and 100 is in the can, you're just paying for the "convenience factor". I've still got a few cans of Torco that I've been spiking my gas with on race days. Race gas is better though.

Um...

Nice.

my buddy with an old ford bucket hotrod went to allied washoe and topped off his tank of 100 with 110. He told me they only sell leaded fuel there and that is why it is cheaper:(

They sell 100 octane unleaded and 110 leaded

He is wrong. As Mikek said back in post 57, We are buying their Sunoco 100 GT unleaded. It is clearly labeled as unleaded.

They may sell 100 leaded as well, but it is more likely to be 104 or 110 which are more common leaded octane ratings I beleive.

Won't be the first time. I'm gonna go get some on friday then. I need to make a spreadsheet to figure out how much I need too add to get in the mid 90's,atleast better than 91. Sorry I haven't read all the posts, last time I looked at this thread it was on my phone:)

No spreadsheet required... Use one of the many Octane calculators out there...

The rest: Google: Octane calculator

cool, Thanks for those Dean

Here's the spreadsheet I use. Just leave the Torco at 0.

I just filled up at allied washoe, the price went up this week, from $6.50 to $7.65 :furious:

I just went over 50 gals though, so have 5 free gals the next time I fill up, so I will be running 100 octane this weekend and at hawthorne, then it looks like I am back to 91 :(

$7.65 is too expensive but $6.50 is not? Lolz.

Correct

Jeez... nice $1.15 price jump. :mad:

do you have a perrin front mount? if so I spotted you when I was leaving work.

no, APS.

sorry i sound like such a noob, but in the first page of posts i am reading about pinging. whats that?

Pinging=knocking= The air/fuel mixture ignites on it's own prior to the spark plug firing and the explosion bangs into the piston while it is still traveling up in the cylinder and can destroy an engine in short order.

More octane actually reduces the combustibility of gas, not improves it as many people think. That is why using higher octane in an engine not tuned for it usually causes a reduction of power.

good to know, thank you dean.
