Yeah they have been selling race gas for a long time, I used to buy it from there in the mid 90's.

Isn't 'cam 2' 110 leaded, or do they name their 100 'cam 2' as well?

since you ask

""Cam 2" is the generic name used for Sunoco Race Fuels. You can expect the same consistent high quality performance from Cam 2 Racing Gasoline that you get from Sunoco Race Fuels because the names are interchangeable. It is the same product, made in the same facility by the same people. We use this name wherever the "Sunoco" brand name cannot be used, such as gasoline outlets which carry a competing brand of street gasoline. Cam 2 is available in 110, 112, and 116 octane leaded, and 100 and 104 unleaded. "

Still the stuff I filled up with today, it doesn't smell like race gas out the exhaust. But what do I know?

fjwfkw'fj;,cnvdflsdvsnviosdvm I saw where you posted, and then saw what you have, better steer clear of you. My parents live in St. Charles and that's where I keep my car. THe only place I know of sells 110 leaded, at the marathon at the corner or 64 and 47 in maple park. If you want in the spring, i'll split a barrel with you.

Some stations use the race gas pumps for kerosene in the winter, maybe they lowered the price to sell the gas so they can switch over.

It's not super close but the Gas City on 34 and 71 in oswego has been selling 100 for a long time.. it's on the back row of pumps, down from the diesel.

Probably closest to Geneva, not so close to Elgin but I'm pretty sure the Gas City on the corner of Rt. 59 & Butterfield Rd still sells 100. Sorry I haven't been by there in a while so I can't tell you the price.
