Anyone know where there might be a steady supply of this? I know there is a pump at Pacific Raceways, but it is $9 a gallon and the pumps are locked over the winter. I hear there is a place in Ballard, but I am hopeful there is something closer to where I live in Pierce County. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

There is a 76 station in auburn that goes up to 114 octane (I believe) on Auburn Way.

 

Thanks, Vasiliy. I will look into this!

 

The 76 in Auburn carried (haven't bought it in a bit) the entire line of Trick Racing Fuels. And at far less than $9/gal.

But you can't run the 114 at all. Leaded gas.

 

oh I think the new track toy can handle the leaded fuel... are you gassing up for tomorrow?

:-)

 

Looks like a great day today. Hope you have fun with the RSA Roman.

 

It's not "far less" than $9 a gallon. I was there a few months ago and it was around $8.35 for the Trick 101 I believe.


1725 Auburn Way N, Auburn, WA‎



You can get the 101 unleaded directly out of the pump. I believe it's the pump in the south-western corner of their row of pumps.

They also have I believe 110 and 114 leaded available, but that has to be pumped into a container.

 

Thanks a lot! Yes, this is the place. Vasiliy provided the phone number and I called to confirm. Thanks guys for your help.

For the record, the station quoted $8.45 for 100, while it was $9.70 at the track today. I ended up buying $275 of it at the track today (ouch).

PJ, I don't know all the science behind it, but I have been told that the motor in this car was built and mapped for 100 unleaded, and that I should not be using leaded nor should I be using 92. Damn!

 

The only reason why people avoiding leaded gas is that it can damaged your oxygen sensors or cats. I don't think a track purpose car like yours has cats on it. At least I hope it doesn't. Even if does and you're not worry about emission you'll be fine. If your car is tuned for 100+ you will not have any problem running anything higher then 100 leaded or unleaded gas. But why waste money if you don't need it.

 

Thanks, Vince. The feedback I received from a local Porsche engine builder that knows the engine well is that using leaded would damage the O2 sensors. That's good enough for me. As for using 92 vs. 100, I can tell you that it runs like a banshee with 100, and still runs with 92 but it coughs and hiccups along the way (and with noticeably less power).

 

in the long run 02 sensors will be cheaper then gas..

 

Wow... Inflation. I guess.

$8.45 is still better than $9.70, but for more than the $6ish that I would have assumed it should be. Isn't Avgas only $6.00 a gallon right now?
