You can now have high octane Sunoco Race Gas delivered right to your front door.

www.buyracegas.com

A tad expensive but you do get to keep the container.

$57.85/5 gal or $11.57/gal. !!!!!

Do they offer a volume discount?

I'm actually going to see if I can get a 55 gal. drum at the $4.16/gal price from a local dealer.

I suppose the 5 gal. UPS delivery wouldn't be too bad an idea if say a guy was just going to use his on his AutoX or race weekends and didn't have an instate local dealer.

As it is I have to drive 90 miles one way to get my gas.

I hope it doesn't have lead in it.
I was told that is not good for the engine.

Speedy, get the GT100, or GT104+, those are the unleaded race fuels.

We don't have a sunoco dealer around here, but at least I can get 101 octane trick.

Trick is a subsiduary of Sunoco

Yep, but its not the same fuel. Different refinery. Trick comes from California

......to Sunoco's specs.....probably by Chevron in Calif. Then distributed by Trick.

Same happens on the East Coast and Mid West for Chevron. Amoco refines for Chevron in the MidWest and Sunoco refines for Chevron on the East Coast. The refine the gas to Chevron specs and delivered to Chevron stations or picked up by Chevron trucks

Sunoco can't sell retail in California due to some interstate agreements but that doesn't apply to race fuels sold at tracks and race fuels sold retail "Off Brand". Hence the name Trick.
