I dont have ARP head studs, so i dont really wanna run more than 20 psi. Im just a loser or something! I bought it at marathon in rosemount. I know its leaded but who really gives a damn? its also 3.69, same price as last year and they say it wont go up!

I get Mobile 111 leaded from the gas station on Central Ave sometimes and it seems like decent gas. $4.00 a gallon. Good to 30psi but no more than that. Too bad its not cheaper so turbo cars could run it all the time.

Not like there are any other Central Aves... (Osseo, Minneapolis, etc.)

No doubt, I asked for the CROSS STREET on Central, as Central Ave runs from downtown mpls up way past Blaine man, and just how many Mobils through there are who knows? At least what city is it the one that sells the 111 in? Mpls, NE Mpls, Columbia Hieghts, Blaine or even farther north?

Maybe you'd like to go search and screw around for hours to find this station that sells 111, but my slow A/T bubble car is even slower than your slowbubblecar and I for one don't have that kind of extra time to waste.

The cross street is 37th, in Columbia Heights. It is Bobby & Steves. You can even pay with credit card!!

I had problems with that gas last year for some reason. My tune was setup for 100 unleaded and when the place I usually went for it stopped selling it for the season I went to the Bobby and Steves. I don't know why but with nothing changed on my tune I got more knock than I should have seeing as I was running a higher octane. I'll try it again this year for a new tune with the new motor, hopefully that will help.

I have had good luck with that gas. I know we ran it in Nash's old car quite a bit and it would run 30psi no problem, but any more than that and it knocked like a bitch.

We had very bad results with the gas from there on Mara's car there a few years ago. We tried to dyno on it and got 43 knock count at 17psi, so we had to drain the tank and put in some C16, which didn't knock. It was worse than normal pump gas on that occasion. I have a feeling the tank their 111 octane gas is in get contaminated every so often.
