I have run it before with no problems. I just add a little marvel mystery oil. I just hear people back and forth about the pros and cons of it. High altitude, low rpm blah blah blah. There is a website that sells race gas and of course they tell you how bad av gas is

I had done a search for av gas on moparts and there was a post talking about dyno results of av gas and race gas, but I couldn't read the post

How do you guys transport a drum home and then unload it out of the truck. I hear people say they roll the drum out onto old tires

Drum in the bed of the truck. Use a barrel clamp and overhead hoist to pick it up, and then drive out from under it.

92 & 93 pump is about $3.95 a gallon right now in Md. I believe 110 race gas is about $10. a gallon. We have a Sunoco that I think still has 98 at the pump and its almost $10. a gallon also. I run the pump but this pump gas seems to get worse every year so I think about every third tank of pump I may add a few gallons of race gas. Ron

Have used the 100LL for over 15 years with no problems . It does stain your carb but you should clean it now & then anyway . Change filter once a year everything is fine . Gary

LMAO try $250 Aussie per 20 litres which is about 4.5 gallons for VP ms109. Normal unleaded fuel here is 1.50 /litre.

$750.00 for a 45 gallon drum of VP C-12 up here.

That equates to about $14.00 / US gallon & US dollars . A "Little" pricey, but what do you do if you need it....

It seems to creep up about 10% every year, but what doesn't....?

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.




Wow, cause we are paying $3.48 a gal for 87 pump swill up here in the north. 110 is $7 and C-16 is running around $13

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?




A local speed shop sells Renegade 16 from a 55 gal drum. Costs about $12 a gallon. Red instead of VP blue.
