We usually have it here in the showroom, 5 gallon drums. Right now there isn't any but we could have it by the 14th.

sweet. what octane? and how much per gallon?
There used to be a place in Mission Valley that sold it in 5 gallon drums.....can't recall the name but I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about.

Some 76 stations have it at the pump :)

you have to be a member of that station, forget the name of it.
Im wondering why the need to waste money on race gas? Whats been done to the motor?

Gotcha!!
I finally found the one place, Soco in El Cajon. Like I said you have to be a member AND when you pump race fuel, you cant pump it right into the car, you have to fill fuel jugs or a 55 gallon drum.
Its a CFN station.
145 Vernon Way
El Cajon, CA 92020
Its really on the Magnolia side but you will see it as you get close.

If you keep going up the 67 from the 8, there is a little place on the right side of the freeway before you get to Riverford Rd that sells VP race fuel.

ya i know. it definatly likes the cooler weather. i still haven't gotten the fueling dialed in 100%. still spark knocks a very minute bit if you do a 4th gear pull on the interstate. it's wierd..if you get on it from first and keep on it it does fine..but if you do a low rpm 4th gear..or sometimes 3rd gear pull..it spark knocks. its a pain in the rear to get dialed in. its a fun car though. most people don't expect to see an escort run like that.

i think you mean most AMERICANS
because here, the Escort is, and always will be, a compact economy car.
They're really popular tuner cars in Europe though, and i've seen vids of some scary-fast ones.
but they all have the lamest gigantic spoiler awkwardly mounted to the roof AND trunk...

ha ha..well i dont have a big gay spoiler on mine. the body is completely stock..just in gt trim. and i have a cf hood. that's it. its actually really nice looking. i think you might be talking about the cosworths, and if you are..those are some SICK cars.

I get 100 Octaine at the Kwick Stop off Mollison exit in El Cajon. Its at the pump and they have 110 and 112 inside in 5 gal cans as well
What part of SD are you in? There a gas station on the border of San Marcos and Carlsbad (near the old drag strip) that has 111 at the pump.

Sounds like El Cajon will be the closest for you.

JMC Motorsports in Kearny Messa is a Sunoco dealer. There is none in stock at the moment, but you can call and order it. They can usually have it next day.
