I've got a friend that has a very rare high performance (and likely a high compression) car that should be running on 100+ octane fuel. He lives between Beverly Glen and Sherman Oaks (anything near Mulholland Dr. is good). Anybody know of stations with 100+ octane around there? The previous lists haven't been updated in years and a lot of those stations are gone now.

Do you guys know any gas stations by or in Hacienda Heights that carry higher than 91 octane?

So far I just know of the 76 in West Co. and Cosby Oil's in Santa Fe Springs but i still dont know exactly what they carry.
