How much are you paying for Racing Fuel?????

[CobraRLC]

I thought that I would throw this question out. Since we do not have fuels above 91 octane I thought that we could mix it up our selves. Thanks to Tetge for the ratios......also 76s website has a chart for mixing......http://www.76.com
100 octane....
76
Trick
VP
:rolling:

Robert...I paid $4.49 a gallon for 100 octane at 76 yesterday...there is one a a couple miles from my house...I threw $20 bucks in to enjoy during my days off

I just got some leaded 108 octane Sat night for $4.50 a gal.

There are also some stations here in town that sell unleaded 100 octane trick at the pump for 3.99 a gal.

 

[I.V. Bolt.]

$17.50 for 5 gallons of F&L 111 race fuel. I mix 5 and 5 should be around 103-105.

 

[CobraRLC]

3.50 per/gal. is not bad.....your octane works out to be 101.......

A couple weekends ago, I 96 octane unleaded was $3.19 at Sears Point. I got 10 gallons of the good stuff twice during the weekend when I was running open track with the Shelby Club. My MPG on the track drops to about 4 MPG, and you don't want to run out of gas when you are on the track.

$4.25/gal. Trick 101 unleaded from the self serve pump. Corner DeSoto and VanOwen next to the fire station in the SF Valley. It's the good stuff and it takes 1 gallon of 101 + 4 gallons of + 91 to get 5 gallons of 93 octane. If 91 = $2.25 the price per gallon of blended 93 in Calif is $2.65 gal. Not too bad considering, but still a rip. 93 octane seems to be sufficient to fend off any detonation that I might encounter even running more boost than I am tuned for (not that I would run extra boost).
Blended 95 octane would be 1.5 gal 91 + 1 gal 101 and would cost $3.05 a gallon. Ain't simple math fun?
It really gets interesting when you start to fill up your blended tank with subsequent 91 octane stuff. If you start with 95, you may still have 92 after two fill ups, depending upon how empty you let your tank get. This all keeps me busy on my long commute.

I get VP 103 direct out of the pump in HB for $5.25 gallon. Comes out to $26 for 5 gallons.

I drive to the track on 1/4 tank, flogging it all the way down. Fuel light comes on just before the exit. Drive with the fuel light on until i get to the track,then add the 5 gallons.

Prick, you know your taking a BIG risk with only 5gallons in your Tank.
Especially if your planning to Squeez.
I know you know better!

Yes i know, but im not worried about that until i squeeze. Since im not hitting low 1.7's on my 60's yet, im not to concerned. Ill go to 10 gallons when i shoot the juice.

Talk about taking a big risk mr 18+ psi on stock block man :lol1:

:beer:

 

[BALDSNAKE]

We all know that you quarter milers are one Lego short of an amusement park yet still run circles around me when it comes to trick Chit. Do you not have to have a "Flip" chip for the higher octane to work?
Help out the old Bald one here .

 

[Red BOLT99]

I would say YES on the Flip chip, it would make your car take more advantege of the Higher octane with or without mods. A thought.

 

[Venomous Mofo]

Yes a flip chip is good. However, a 4 way is even better :beer:

 

[amwalker]

we have a flip chip, need the good pure 100 octane stuff to make it work though (without throwing a rod through the side of the block...)

Or put a hole through the top of the piston
