Race Fuel Prices

What is everyone paying for a Gallon of race fuel ?
I would have thought the price would be alot lower with the falling fuel prices.

They’ll go up, but NEVER come down. Think I paid $72 for a 5 gal pail of VP C12 (14.4 a gal).

I need a better hobby..... and NO! There’s not any E85 in my area

160.00 for 54 gallons of alcohol

You drink the cheap stuff!

Ya I went from BP93 to alcohol. That's all I can afford.

Leaded 110 turbo blue $6.99 gal

Sunoco 110 leaded for $8.50.

VP 110 $55 for 5 gallons. Another place 30 minutes away, is $65 for the same thing...

Pump E85 is from $3.89 to $4.21 a gallon here in bend depending on the time of year.
I haven't price race gas up here in a long time, the last price I remember for it was around $55.00 for 5 gallons of VP 110
I love E85

Been over $10/gal for 110 around here for a couple years, have to drive to Coeur d'Alene to get it.

I recently paid $264 for three five gallon pails of Sunoco Maximal (116).

I think the crude oil is a small part of the cost of racing gas.

I assume small batches and additives run the cost up.

e85 is $1.92 per gallon here.....SO glad I made the switch years ago. It paid for itself at least 3 times over.

110 Cam 2 is $7.29 by me. I mix 2 gallons with 2 gallons of 93 pump swill.

Testing again next Wednesday. If it shows no improvement over the 91 no alcohol I was using, I'll switch back.

$85 for a 5 gallon pail been that way for a LONG time, $127 for a 5 gallon pail for the Vette our west. Mid 90's back east

Sunoco 116 is $9.99 a gallon at the pump at Sonoma Raceway. They have 112, 114 and the 116 leaded. They also have high octane unleaded. Not sure but I think it's 93, 97 and 100 octane. The pumps only go to 9.99 so I guess that's the way it is until they get new pumps? Been the same for a few years now. Otherwise, VP is expensive like Al says but I like it the best.

I bought 5 gallons of VP MS109 unleaded last fall and it was $12 a gallon, 110 unleaded at the pump is around $8.00 a gallon IIRC. I just dumped the rest of the 109 in my SXS, my car likes pump 93 better, thank goodness.

Just got home from getting 10 gal. of 116 12.99 a gal.
About 3 or 4 bucks cheaper a gal then the track

Renegade 112, $9/ gal here.

$4.99 a gallon for 100LL avgas. 12:1 compression

I'd be interested in how you got the av gas. you have a plane? Tried at a small airstrip and was told I need some FAA ID number to purchase. Fed. Gov. regulation.

. Nice! 2.39 here.......

Sunoco Blue 112 octane . $53.75 for 5 gallon , this year at the track.

I am paying $6.20 + for a gallon of pump gas 😑


Tex

I remember when Cam 2 went from $3.00 a gallon to 3.25 in a 55. Wasn't happy with that....lol

In northwest Ohio I can get 110 cam2 from the pump is $7.25-$7.50 a gallon. I was getting VP and Sunoco 110 from a National Trial for $7.50 3 years ago then I broke my hot rod. I was mixing 110 & 93 e10 pump gas for my 11-1 360 back then.

Anyone using ethanol needs to check out oneethanol.com It's taking the country by storm!

Can you make that link work s we can view it please

Pump gas prices have nothing to do with race gas prices.

If it was , you'd think their web site wouldn't be as difficult to get information from and they might actually have some links to actual dealers.
I like what I read , but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to lay my hands on some.

Looks like glorified E85 to me.

To the E85 guyz .... not racing myself now but most guys in this area have stopped using that because the formula can radically change from load to load. Most of them have switched to straight alky

If I understand correctly , and if the vendors can be believed , they use a higher quality base gasoline to start with.
I drive a tanker and when we load , it is ( depending on the season ) 15 % sub grade unleaded , which is around 84 octane , and blend it with straight ethanol.
It sounds like Sunoco and these guys start with a better base grade , which would yield a better fuel.
Straight premium from the refineries that we use is 91 octane and some stations will jack it to 93 octane with 10 % ethanol.
I am not overly concerned with lead , so I considered buying straight ethanol and mixing it with race gas.
But I am toying with the idea of buying a drum of their S and trying it out.
I did find someone local who carries it , and 335.00 a drum is better than a lot of the others.
Their R grade is 425.00 a drum , but not in stock locally.
Switching to straight booze creates another set of circumstances that I am not ready to spend on.

You definitely want a test kit and basic math skills.
I keep a 5 gallon can of E-95 laying around in case I need to sweeten what comes out of the pump.........by mid July , most of it is 85 %
But here in Mn. , they don't fill the tanks with actual E-85 until June 1.
It is E- 65 for cold weather starts from November till then.

Don't make the switch harder than it is when going to straight alcohol. A quick phone call to APD in ohio for a change-over ( I did this) or buy a new fancy billet carb. I do a lot of weekly races and changed my oil twice thanks to a 1/2 ball-valve in my car to build heat. 160.00 a drum picked up 7 miles from my house.

Compelling argument.
The price alone might sway me.
The big draw backs would be that I drive more on the street than the track , and I am inherently lazy by nature. LOL

please call one ethanol, 616-929-0812 we can set you up with a dealer in your area. IT IS available in MN. S blend and R blend.

I tried to add a link to our web sight, it would post, I'll work on that.

One more thing, our ethanol IS NOT glorified e85. Our products are a special bled of the purist, ethanol along with our own special hydrocarbons that contain no lead or mbte.

BTW... anyone considering blending your own "custom" ethanol; A piece of advice. DON"T use leaded race fuel unless you are wanting to put a new motor in your ride. The lead in race fuel causes severe detonation. Usually resulting in catastrophic engine failure.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact us @ oneethanol.com or 616-929-0812 we will be more than happy to help any way we can. we are racers just like you

In the southern portion of the St. Louis, MO area, I can get Renegade 110 for $6.77 a gallon at the pump at the local Phillips 66 station. VP 110 is $6.99 a gallon at the pump 10 miles down the road at a truck stop in Pevely, MO. Sunoco 110 is over $8 a gallon at one of the larger fuel distribution companies.

The Phillips 66 station sells around 150 gallons of Renegade a weekend during the summer months. (I keep track of the 'odometer' reading at the pump.)

I am sure glad I built a pump gas eng after seeing this. But in Md where I live right now its about $3 dollars a gallon for 92 pump. Ron

$7.99 per gallon for Renegade 112. That's out of the pump at the distribution center that's about a 40 min drive from my house.
Same fuel is $63 for 5 gallons at the local Advance Auto Parts, but you get to keep the steel can it comes in. Convenient when I need some quick.
