Post UPDATE: Better gas in SF

Here's an update to this thread:

<a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=004734" target="_blank">Better gas in SF </a>

There's an Olympian Gas Station that has 114 octane fuel. It costs $4.75 per gallon. You need a racing fuel container to fill up.

The station information is:

So. Linden Olympian
35 So. Linden Avenue
So. San Francisco, CA 94080
(650) 952-2027/2030
Hours: 5:00 am - 8:00 pm M-F
6:00 am -3:00 pm Sat
Closed on Sundays

ps, they also sell this fuel called "BioDiesel", which I thought was interesting. <a href="http://www.oly.com/biodiesel.html" target="_blank">Biodiesel Info</a>

Be very careful about what you are buying. I have personally never seen a fuel with high Octane that was unleaded. The highest you usually find is 102-103 in unleaded (R+M/2).

110 and 114 are very common octanes for leaded race gas.

I called again to verify, and they claimed that it was unleaded.

However, caveat emptor, becuase the person at the front desk was not sure and there was no body else to verify that this was true or not.

Good catch, Mark. It seems like the leaded/unleaded issue is a distant memory after living in CA for so long.

See if they can tell you what brand and 'designation' the fuel is. You can then check with mfg (webiste) and see what it really is. For example, if they tell you it is VP CSP, you could verify on the VP website.
