Racing Fuel Prices
 
I never thought the day would come that I'd think the racing fuel prices were actually reasonable. I just paid $5.10 a gallon for VP 108 Octane in a 5 gallon can. When regular pump gas is over $3 a gallon, it's amazing that the racing stuff hasn't gone too insane as of yet.

I poured it all in the tank of the hemi Charger and then started her up. I could actually tell when the good gas made it to the carb. The idle just smoooothed out. I'd swear I heard the car make that "mmmmmmmm" yummy sound. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Get that Jack Podell additive. I buy it by the case and never had a problem with anything. Comes in 1 qt. plastic bottles. MAX LEAD 2000. Never had the carb apart in 4 years either. No gasket problems and no intake staining. Proper mixture gets you 103 octane. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

ALss, they're just down the road from you on route 202 in Flemington, NJ. Here's where I got it: http://www.burgersmotorcycles.com/

The VP Red 104 octane leaded is $49.98 for a 5 gallon can and the VP C12 108 octane leaded is $55.98 per 5 gallon can.

That's sad.

I sometimes buy from a major petroleum supplier about 30 minutes from me and buy Sunoco 110 and it is $20 per gallon!! Double what it was in 2020. Just an hour away it is only $9 a gallon. Now THAT is sad!

Turbo Blue is about $9/gal near me, so I guess I should count my blessings!

I'm at $10/gallon for Renegade 110.
