Race Fuel In Orange County, CA

Does anyone know where I can get race fuel (100+ octane) in Orange County, CA? I live in South Orange County. If there are any stations close to me, that would be great.

Maybe we could start a list here of all stations in the OC and even the LA area that sell 100+ octane racing fuel.

Thanks!!!

EDIT:

I found this station in Newport Beach that has 100 ocatane for $8.99 a gallon - not bad actually:

Newport Hills Union 76
2690 San Miguel Rd., Newport Beach (949) 644-7151
Hours: 6 AM - 10 PM, 7 AM - 10 PM on Sundays.

I know there is a 76 station off the 5 in South county but I cant think of the name of the exit. I will try and look it up. Been a while since I have been there.

Thanks! My new ECU has a program that takes advantage of the octane boost. Makes a lot of difference. Now I am addicted to it!

The NB station is over $8 per gallon. Why not just get some MS VP 109 and be done with it. It cost around $10.50 per gallon, but is GOLD. I get mine at Ace Auto in HB 714-964-2000. Tell them that I sent you!

Also, come on out to one of our early morning C&C runs and see what the MS 109 can do. It is the only gas that I run!

You're Welcome! There are also a few VP Racing Fuel pump locations in the area that I will post later today. I have the addresses saved in my Nav. I mix 100 octane with premium pump gas and it makes a huge difference in the turbo.

Thanks! That site is just what I was looking for.

I was skeptical that the higher octane would make any difference at all. But it really does. If you try just 2-3 gallons mixed in with pump gas you will be hooked!

You want to focus on motor octane not research octane. 100 octane pump gas is rated at 95 motor octane (not the best for race files). VP MS 109 is rated at 105 motor octane so it performs well with flashed race files.

Oh, I am going to get the VP MS 109. And when I am in the poor house, I will blame you Robert!
