high octane in CA, bay area - where?

isnt' there a gas station that has 100 octane at the pump? supposed to be on woodside rd/84. is shell, chevron... wanna try out a mix of 100 and 91 to get 93~96... just for kicks.

also i heard that shell v-power gas is really 92 octane, although stated as 91. any confirmation of that?

hey sharky

capitol and almaden?!?!?! i lived like 2 minutes away on branham and almaden and i never new that!!!!

i'm on 1/4 tank right now so think i'll stop by 76 tonight (woodside and el camino?). good thing it's on the way home.

cheers dude

btw. i gotta get in soon. the clutch hydraulics are funky. first it engages high (where i am used to and like it), the next it engages way low, then high, then in the middle.... arrgh. i'm hoping it just needs a bleed.

and alex, if you'll offer a hand wash for 3.95 with a fill-up then i'll definitely come to your place, rather than the one on marsh rd, which charges 4.95.

that'll be nice. put out a few chairs. serve your customer free starbucks, while we watch kirby wash the cars. tell a few jokes and call it the day...

yep, that could be a weekly ritual for me every friday afternoon..

Yups look it up on Foxworthy.. It's that 76 on the corner.. You'll see it. Check it out...

And if you guys want higher quality leaded for about the same price or cheaper let me know. I can get 55 gallon drums. I do sometimes for my POS car.... If there's enough of you close by that want I guess we could figure something out?

PS Prolly is that bleed eh? James will figure it out.... You're comin' in soon anwayz...

Yep - was just there at Foxworthy and Almaden a little bit ago doing my own mix of 100 & 91. Glad I live <5 minutes away.

Looking forward to what that will be like w/ the Stage II program. Alex - HOOK ME UP, BRUTHA!!
