Well, I was partially right. I stopped at a Sunoco and they have 85, 89 & 93. I'm sure that's where I got the 97 a while back though. The BP I went by had a pump for VP Super Fuel, 101 octane, "contains no ethanol".

Ok, I decided to do a little survey around the small town I live closest too. I wanted to see what all the major brands had as well as check the other BP, because I remembered seeing two extra single pumps there. Everyone has the same at the main pumps, 85, 89, 93. The BP across town had a K-1 pump and amazingly enough they had a pump for....

110 Octane VP Race Fuel :yikes2:

Monroe does have several local race shops based here and a bunch of tracks close, but I didn't expect to find a 110 pump in town. You KNOW that's ending up on the street.

Cajun,

Where was that BP located? Need to make a note of it next time we go to Rockingham. :)

Well, I'm shocked! I never knew you would find racing fuel in a regular service station. Guess I'm still not to old to learn something new, eh? :o

It's between Old Charlotte Hwy and Concord Ave. right at the "Y", about 1/2 mile from downtown Monroe.

Can you write a 110 tune for my F150? :innocent:

:3gears:
:hehe:

Next time you go to Rockingham, let me know, maybe we can meet up someplace.

I was shocked too, I didn't expect to find anything that high. They have a big sign right next to it about selling "fuel jugs" inside the store so it's obviously not suppose to be on the street, but.......

Yes and no. I can do a tune for 110 Octane but the biggest problem is that changing the timing curve will only provide gains to a point. What would really be needed is compression to make use of the 110.

I'll definitely give you a shout next tim ewe get up that way! :2thumbs:

Cajun Thu, January 22nd, 2009 07:18 PM

I was just joking about the 110 tune, I'll probably stick to 89 for custom tunes. I run it the most and it's my understanding that you shouldn't mix octanes between specific tunes, right?

Oh and Corey, I'm comstantly being told I say it wrong...it is mun-ROW. :thumbsup:

What's funny to me is that Wingate is not pronounced Win-GATE, it's pronounced WIN-git. Go figure...

OK, to continue this hijack: In Arizona we have a pretty little town named Prescott, but, it's pronounced "Presskit". We have another, very little town called Why, and pronounced "Why" - I dunno why.... :confused: (Actually, I DO know why, but I'll let you all find out why. :smiley_roll1:)
