High Octane gasoline.. Where?

Post by whalepirot »

Can anyone name a source to get high octane gaoline for my B2k, in the Prescoott AZ area. Local premium is 91.

The airport FBO has a 'no' policy on 100LL unless for an airplane. :hi

Sunoco has a bunch of options in Phoenix but that isn’t too close.

When I had my '69 L88, I made friends with my local speedshop (and fellow L88 owner, so he clearly understood the need), and they let me order race fuel a 55 gal drum at a time. I then bought a simple hand-pump from Grainger to pump it into the car when needed.

Of course this means you are storing a 55 gallon drum of high octane fuel in your garage, so there is an element of risk involved... :jsmile

I would only mix 3-5 gal of 100 unleaded. Too much octane and the car will run terrible off boost. It will love the octane at 15psi but there is a trade off

Thanks to all for the replies.

Sunoco in PHX maxes out at 91; only 3 stations. The limit may be AZ rules, per one local rodder.

Not a fan of 55g of gas in the garage, expecially as the car's low mileage will be continued, so me need is small. :hi

Thanks, I appreciate your support. I'd seen 3 Sunoco stations but didn't call them to check, relying instead on the word of a 'hot rodder' I'd met. :hi
