Useful tool for accurate Octane Blending

I stumbled upon this site and figured it would be a useful tool for everyone to have, especially those that need to run higher octane fuel, do to extensive mods on yer cars.

91, 92, 93 base octane blending with Cool Blue 100 charts to get accurate desired octane ratings. click here

if this has been posted in the past...I apologize for the repost, but if not, yer welcome.

Also, here is a list of all the 76 stations in CA, complete with tables stating if they supply race gas and other services/products.

-Ted :banana:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF I-CLUB!!!!!

I find that a bit difficult to believe....why on earth would they stop making race gas after all these years and after they have pretty much gotten the majority of "race" business/sponsorships at racetracks etc.....

Looking for some kind of news release on this now.....

-Ted


........15 minutes later......I havent found anything anywhere on the 76 or Conocophillips websites that says they are stopping production of the race gas.......anywhere....

It isn't BP, it is VP Fuels. And my supplier heard the same as Joe's supplier.

BTW, NASCAR will use VP Fuels this year per my understanding.

hmmmmm! I am a loyal Valero pump gas advocate lol.... My cars are tuned to run Valero's 91 octane and it is still affordable and still kicks Joe's ***... j/k

So why switch
