100 octane unleaded?
Where locally is there a place that sales 100 octane unleaded? If you know of a place can you be very specific as to it’s location and name. I went to the to bike shops on peterscreek and both of them don’t sale it in cans but both said “well there’s a place on colonial and a place on Williamson that sales it at the pump” but they could not give me a name/ exact location. Your assistance is appreciated.
Joey what was the name of the place you told me about?

Be careful if you plan to pump it directly into your car. I do believe that's hiiiiiiiiighly illegal; I do believe they have jugs by the pump though for that purpose, so you can pump it into the cannister/jug and then dump it in your car. Not sure what the difference is, but I'm under the impression that they don't want to see you pumping it in your car. It's been a long time since I've been with anyone when they got 100oct though.

Go buy yourself some xylene or toluene if all you're looking for is 100octane. Buy it in bulk at any paint store in a 5 gallon drum for around 30 bucks, then mix it as a 30% ratio to regular 93 (2 gallons 93 to every 1 gallon of xylene or toluene) and you now have yourself 100oct.
2.00 dollars a gallon for 93 @ 2 gallons = 4 dollars
1 gallon of Xylene @ 6 dollars = 6 dollars
10 dollars for 3 gallons or 100 octane, or roughly 3.33 a gallon

Better yet, anyone want to go in on buying a 55 gal drum of 116 oct? Ive only found one place that will sell it (Pro Line) and they only sell it in 55 gal drums and I wont be able to use it all before it goes "stale".
