Jaime,
There are several places... If you are in the Pasadena area... at the end of 110 and Arroyo there is a 76 Station with 100 Octane (very expensive). Steve (OFE), always fill RUFUS up with 100 Octane on Chessboro or Kanan (also a 76 Station) off of the 101 South... the last time I was there.... this place has a very reasonable price.
Have fun... Steve, can you chime in and confirm the exit please... thanks.

Quite a few 76 stations have 100 octane unleaded in SoCal. There used to be a list on the 76 website, but it seems to be gone. I did find this link via Google:

I used to have a place less than 1/4 mi. away, but now I get mine at the 76 station in Brentwood at San Vicente and Bundy.

This may be way too out of the way for Jamie, but Tony is correct... there is a Unocal 76 station in Agoura at the Cheseboro offramp from the 101. Last I looked, it was $5.19/gal.

Wow, $5.19/gal? It's north of $7.50 at the Brentwood 76!
I'm tempted to try to buy a drum of the stuff and keep it at home...not that 55 gallons would really last very long.

You guys are blending the stuff with 91 right? 3-4 gals w/balance of 91 is all your ECU's can read unless your mapping's been modified. Even then, modified street maps rearely read over 95.....

I try to mix ~6 gallons of 100 octane with the remainder 91 octane, theoretically yielding around 94.5 octane.
I have Kevin's remapped ECU. There is a very significant difference between straight 91 and 94-95 octane.

Covina
In Covina area, there is a 76 gas station just south off 10 Freeway on Citrus Ave (off ramp). Even though it is 76, I believe the racing gas is supplied by VP Racing and as of this morning they are selling at $6.99/gallon

I have Kevin's remapped ECU also. Higher octane is very noticable. I bought a 55 gallon drum, nobody carries racefuel in the Bay area as far as I know.
If I run on 91 street gas I actually get some pining under load. Have you had this problem?
