There's a station in Vernon that sells 105 at the pump, it's turbo-blue. Good stuff, they go thru it pretty fast year round with snowmobiles, atv's, motorcycles and cars so it's pretty fresh, they get it delivered usually every month (small tank in the ground) Jonnie's Mobil, on Rt 83

6.50 a gallon.

LVD also sells an unleaded race fuel that's 100 octane at the track too, but I'm not sure what they are geting per gallon.

On another note... Guy, PM me what you can get a 55 gal drum of the unleaded for, at least 100 octane. I know that MIR sells unleaded 105 at the track for 5 bucks a gallon and I'm going there in June, so I'm filling the car and both gas cans I have while I'm there, but once I'm home I'll be back to the 6.50 a gal stuff....... if you can do better then that lemme know.

steph I haven't found anywhere that sells it in central CT, I've been looking for a while in the new britain area and noone does.... hence why I go up to vernon to get it.

Whoever needs it I'd suggest getting a few 5 or 10 gallon containers and get 20 or so gallons so they have some for a while... that's what I do.

I have a # of a guy that will deliver 55 gallon drume, but when I got the pricing from him last year the unleaded was more expensive then C12 was... which is a little more then I needed.
