OMG ! 93 & 100 Octane right nearby !

[vrlife]

May be old news for some - but new discovery for me. Was just cruising down Foothill Expwy to Palo Alto Fry's when I saw a "VP Racing" petrol station.



93 Octane $5.90
100 Octane $7.80



This is way overpriced, but much closer than Almaden or Woodside. So I decided to make a Google Map for anyone/everyone else in the Bay Area that has a passion for High Octane fuels and knows where to get it ;-)

Hahaha... "Street Blaze".

I'm going to have to stop by that Almaden station and see how much it is. Try some 100 octane in the S.

[SeKKeY]

i think 100 octane is cheaper at woodside..am i correct?

[theboogieman1]

map didn't work for me....but the radar traps does.

I did this a little while back to help everyone out, but I believe I forgot to post here where it would help my local brethren...

Thanks - I fixed the map link and added your data points !

Because you included addresses I was able to zoom in Google Maps and use street view to confirm location & name ... shweet !!!

[Anthony]

Very cool.

[iModTTS]

Thanks VR-Life. See, that right there is some teamwork eh! Check out the OG link to make sure it is totally up to date. I think it's complete, but....

[vrlife]

Yep - matches all the addresses in the thread. As I said I actually zoomed into the map and used street view to locate the teardrop exactly.

Please do still send me an email so I can send you an invite to collaborate. Then you can add/change as you wish.

Cheers !

i drive by the TURLOCK 76 gas station everyday, it has 100octane available. live in turlock too by the way

[ShiftAway]

I'm probably being a noob and in the wrong place for this but... Would anything need to be adjusted to run a b5 1.8 t on 93 oc? 100?

Aside from your pocketbook? No, your engine/ECU should adjust on its own, but some software manufacturers do offer programs that take further advantage of higher octane fuel.

Ah ok, thats what I thought but you can never be too careful...
I'm used to dealing with older cars where you can't just dump whatever you want in them without risking destroying your car. I like my explosions inside the chamber thank you

[CrunkCk]

wow i live 2 miles from the rancho station....i guess i'll be going there more frequently now!!!!
