FadedDreams Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Before i found out a local gas station sold race fuel,i checked online with VP,they told me that it would cost almost $100 extra for the hazard fees,plus whatever shipping it would cost.Just check all the gas stations in and around where you live,i'm sure theres one that can get it for you.

RATBIKE0130 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I was doing a search on google today about race gas and found a place online that will ship. Here is the bad news... the average cost for 5 gallons of 110 octane was around 60 dollars. Now add the 20 dollar hazmat fee per 5 gallon can and your up in the 16 bucks per gallon range. NOT WORTH IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I was looking in the area phone book and found a place to buy mine from, also a race car shop setup here in town will now sell it also, you may try checking with people that race or the local race track and see if they sell.

Ducman Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 There is a petrolium dealer near me that will deliver for free if you buy (1ea) 55 gal drum at a time, same price/gal as if I go to the store and have them put it in my 5 gal jugs. You have to pay a deposit on the barrel and buy a $25 pump. I wish I would have bought one this winter when prices were cheaper. You might check for a petrolium dealer in your area, they may not stock race fuel but can probably order it for your in a $55gal drum.

stuntmasta3o5 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Why not just get Av gas .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Check out your local drag strip (car drap strip), and they'll more than likely carry some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 This is where I get mine, they pretty much deliver all over the US. http://www.simonspetroleum.com/Race_Gas.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proquad101 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) go to a local airport and talk to somebody at one of the fbo's and have them sell you some av-gas, it will be cheaper than paying somebody to ship it ya.

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I emailed MotorSportsRacingFuels.com causthey had prices for SUNOCO STANDARD 110 PURPLE I think that's the same stuff Lil Sahara has.. 54gal Drum $281.00= $5.20 gal.. My email from them: (Shipping Today (8/31/05) is 120.00 for 1 drum and 205.00 for 2 drums. Do to the fuel increases freight rates change daily. Also Race gas prices are increasing.) $281+$120=401 for 1 drum that's ah $7.42 a gallon... thanks banshee76179 I'll check Reeder and also the good ole phonebook...

RATBIKE0130 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 You guys are paying a ton for race gas. I checked my supplier today and my rates are 4.99 a gallon for 111 octane. If I buy a 55 gallon drum it will save me around .10 cents per gallon. I just don't have a place to store a 55 gallon tank of gas in my garage.
