Default 100 Octane availbility in Bay Area?
I live in Martinez. Anyone know of any pumped 100 octane? Just curious, not needed - just considering options for the future...


Thanks!

the only place I know that has it for sure on pump is Sonoma raceway (or whatever it's called these days lol). You can go during the day and fill up.

There used to be a place in Sunol that had race gas at the pump and it still may be there but Sonoma Raceway would be closer to your location.

As already mentioned, Sonoma Raceway along with a 76 station on Highway 4 in Stockton right before the 5 interchange. There's also a 76 station in Sacramento but I can't remember what street it's on.

The last time I was there, the 76 station on Almaden Expressway at Foxworthy in San Jose had 100 octane. You see a lot of interesting cars come in.

They have e85 at the Concord Chevron at Willow Pass Rd, on SR-4. I guess if I ever wanted to go crazy on power that sounds like the best option. I'd hate to have to run 30+ miles to fill up!


Thanks everyone!

Or maybe the car really was hungrier... I can't remember so I'll chalk it up as not worth it lol. Wayy too much money.

Race gas is great if you are octane limited and tuned for it but on a stock 10.2:1 LS1 it is just a waste of money...lol
