8.75 just east of St Louis. Much more than that and I'm thinking E-85.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I run 93 it is around $3.40 at the moment. I bought some 110 a couple of years ago at the track and it was $9.00. That is why I went with a pump gas motor.

This is the time of year the mix will be back to 85/15. I bought E-85 at Thorntons 2 weeks ago ($3.29) and it checked at 78/22. I have never found any less than 78% ethanol at any station at any time of year.
I do not make any carb changes and can't say that there is any performance difference. I do not try to tune for every last 1/100th ET. I bracket race and the ET is what it is for that day.

I think it's close to $9/gallon. No worries I have a snow performace meth/H2O kit. It has more than paid for itself.

Where are you finding this? It might be worth the trip for me. And what brand?

don't know my local race fuel price, but I did find a new race fuel called RENEGADE. they claim to be every bit as good as VP, but with better pricing. 95 octane unleaded 5gal for $38 and the Rat man 108oct. oxygenated for $48/5gal. pal. that's about $25 less per pal compared to VP. anyone here ever use Renegade race fuel?

There are a few places actually.

Phillips 66 (I think) on Lemay Ferry and Butler Hill in South County. Across from Kutis Funeral Home.

Phillips 66 at 1502 Jeffco Blvd in Arnold. (Next to Ace Hardware.)

A little further south is the truck stop at Hwy 55 and Hwy Z. (Right by the I-55 Raceway in Pevely.)

I believe all of those stations sell Renegade Racing Fuel. The first 2 stations are owned by the same guy. He's got a mess of hot rods and such. I've actually been told that he will give a price break if you buy 30 gallons or more. I have not verified that though.

I'll go to Sieveking in High Ridge off of Hwy 30 at times to get some Sunoco 110. It's about $8.00 a gallon though. They also sell VP fuels, but not at the pump.

You have to bring your own container to all of the stations though...not allowed to pump directly into the vehicle. (Unless on a trailer. Sieveking does not have that option...their pump is behind a fenced area.)

I use the Renegade and found no difference between it and Sunnoco.

Blues Cuda- thanks, I missed your post until now.
