Sunoco on Beach just west of Southside Blvd (about a mile maybe) on the left hand side. Up to 110 I think.

You guys do understand if you car is tuned properly, and tuned for 93 octane, that putting in race fuel is doing nothing more then draining your wallet right? Also takes life off of your o2 sensors..

The only reason you need race gas is if your compression/timing/boost creates knock on 93, if your tuned properly on 93, your not going to have any knock, so why waste the money on expensive gas? (solely referencing LS motors and how these computer systems work and control timing)

^ I completely agree with you, I didn't need it for a LS car. And only needed 2 gallons so it wasn't so bad.

I thought it only screwed your O2s if it had lead in it

That is correct. 100 octane unleaded will not mess with sensors. Leaded/aviation fuel will....
