where can i get race gas?

[94talonawd]

hey does anyone know any place where i can be able to get 118 race gas in the twin cities area? preferably in the minneapolis/brooklyn park area.

Elite has VP C16 and can get VP Import. For addy, check their thread.

Kath Fuels on Rice St has all that and more. But maybe out of the way a little.

I think Kath only goes up to 110, unless they added something this year. Bobby & Steves has 111 on pump. Why do you need 118?

Kath used to have a Phillips 116-119(somewhere in there) research octane, but it was just as expensive as C16.

What is the going rate for c16 at Elite? And what is that VP Import stuff?

[Shotgun!]

VP Import is the hot shit.
I don't wanna quote prices as they seem to change alot.
Expect C16 to be ~$11.00/Gal
Expect Import to be ~$22.00/gal

Holy...

Has it always been that expensive here?

[sleepydsm]

Well what exactly is VP Import? Octane rating, etc?

It has gone up the last few years. But it is a lot more expensive here than in Texas, due to shipping/frieght costs.

It is over 120 octane. It is oxygenated, so it actually adds HP over stuff like C16. The import race teams that tested it were seeing something like a 4% gain in HP at the same boost level compared to C16. It's the closest thing to running methanol as you can get for a "normal" gasoline. Marko with the white Supra ran the VP Import when he made 1500+whp with the wastegate line unhooked making over 50psi of boost and nitrous spraying. It doesn't smell like something you should be putting in your gas tank.
