Post 100 Octane Fuel in S.F. Bay area

FYI......To all in the San Francisco Bay area. As some, if not all, of us are aware of, the Union 76 station, on Almaden Expressway in San Jose, CA., sells 100 Octane fuel.
It is inconvenient, from where I live to make this trek to get the fuel. So, I contacted an owner of a Union 76, in Saratoga, CA. Corner of Highway 9 and Sunnyvale/Saratoga Rd. His name is Rick.
He has agreed to spearhead an effort to carry the 100 octane fuel. It has taken us a couple of months to get to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, to make a long story short...... He has agreements with 6(needs 8) station owners to carry the fuel. The delivery distributor wants "X" amount of fuel delivered each week.
The good news, I know if he gets the other two stations to join, we will have 100 Octane surrounding the bay. Saratoga, San Francisco, Fremont, Marin area(not sure), San Jose, Milpitas and the others are unknown.
We should have a solid answer by the middle of next week. I will monitor the post or if you want to contact me about this, email me at epguy8@aol.com, I'll be happy to pass on any information I have and Rick would love to hear more support or letters.
I also have motorcycle clubs on a letter writing campaign.

That would be fabulous. Anything we can do as future customers to facilitate such a move?

If you want to help, Contact Rick, (408) 315-3246. Let him know your interersted, what area of the bay you live in and he can pass the word on to other dealers, to know that there is a demand. Thanks. let's build this and maybe we can cover the majority of the bay area.

This would be great. I live in Los Altos and would definitely be making a trip once or twice a week to Rick's station for a fill up....

I own a heavily modded Audi Turbo--100 octane would be a dream.

Thanks for the info!
