Question Bay Area : 100 octane gas stations?

Im looking for gas stations that carry/fill up 100 octane (race gas). I went to 76 Station near DSR, twice!, but its too far to drive whenever the car is near empty.

Is there any other gas stations around San Mateo area?

I tried to use the forum search list, but I could not find under bay area station. Plus, the 76's website has changed.

TIA,

It went up for a bit, think it's back down to $4.25 or so. By the way EM, the 100 pump on Woodside is in the pump closest to the attendant, on the right if you are facing the station from the street.
