Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale rd. U-Save Citgo 110 octane Sunoco $6.00 gallon

Bloomingdale, Lake St Citgo, 100 octane

Bensenville Citgo, Iriving Park Rd. 100 octane - generally the cheapest, but I find doesn't smell like race gas?

a guy from one of the oil companies in IL told me theirs 1 tanker in northern IL that delivers 100 octane to all vendors, no matter which brand.

Is the gas station you are talking about the bp right before 39? If so some idiot ran into that pump and knocked it over about 2 yrs ago, and when they replaced it, it is no longer a race gas pump. I have checked

Thanks. The lake st citgo is where i used to go. I used to live in bloomingdale. Right now, im thinking either @ the track, or ill have to head east. Im sure there is a place out here with the track so close. Im going to need something soon for startup!

Thanks, Chris
