Default Is there 93 octane at the Glen?

I haven't been to the Glen for many years so forgive my ignorance. I did a search but came up short.
Does Watkins Glen have regular 93 octane fuel on site? The track car I will be borrowing does not have tags so I can't go into town like many years ago, and I rue the thought of lugging containers of fuel around in my SUV.

I've emailed WG a few times but no reply. How nice.

If my recollection from last October is correct, only 100 and 110 at the track.

Yes every time I have been there including last October. Naturally it is much cheaper to buy gas downtown if you can bring gas jugs.

I can confirm they had 93 octane as of last October. It's more expensive than in town, but it's not outrageous.

Yes on the 93.

IIRC, The Glen's 93 is about $1 higher than in town at Lakes Gas (Gulf I believe).

Don't quote me on that price, but yes, there is 93 available at the track. It's the 2nd pump in once you pull up (I think).

Bruce is correct. Amazing he remembers, though, as he only needs to refill about once per weekend at his parade lap speed

I almost spilled my cup of tea when I was riding with him, fortunately the slight rattle of the cup on the saucer alerted me in time to stop building my ship in a bottle and secure it.
