FYI When you leave In N OUT just stay on Priest going south. That will take you to Wild horse path right where the LOVES truck stop is. You can get some 100 octane in the car before you go to firebird. When you drive past the Bashas warehouse make lots of noise at the entrance for me. Thats where I work. Hopefully Ill be out of there no later than 7pm.

And they do have 110 also. but you need to put it in a can first. Since it is leaded gas it has the bigger nozzle. wont fit in our cars.
There is also another place at 44 th St. and Chandler NW corner in Ahwatukee. They only have 100 octane tho.
