I'll check it out on the way to UCKK tomorrow. Hopefully they make the prices reasonable soon. At that rate, a full tank in the STI would run $100!!! And since I only get about 200 a totally emptied-out tank, that means it would cost 50 cents a mile to drive.

I had a buddy that worked there that gave me that quote, I hooked him up with ski/ wakeboard stuff so I don't know if it is a special price or not, I don't think it is though... Btw, That price is only if u buy a 55 gallon drum if u just bought it by the 5 gallon drum its like 6something a gallon its not @ the pump. And 100 unleaded is actually more expensive.

Is this price for real???
Cause as a previous poster mentioned 100 octane is pretty cheap (in the summertime when gas is already expensive) at the 76 stations. I don't think the VP racing fuel is any better than the Sunoco they carry.
Gruppe-S does the SMC kit for 750 installed - If you drive 10,000 miles/year, WI/alky will pay for itself within a year vs. running 100 octane. I know, I had the bright idea to run a 96 octane tune and it was a PITA...

So I went with some buddies after UCKK, filled up a near empty tank with a blend of 93.5 and 100, and I was amazed at the immediate difference. On the street and on the freeway, it just ripped! I'm still a little woozy from the fumes, and my eyes burn a little, though. Gotta try 76 next time.
