Racing Fuel Prices
I never thought the day would come that I'd think the racing fuel prices were actually reasonable. I just paid $5.10 a gallon for VP 108 Octane in a 5 gallon can. When regular pump gas is over $3 a gallon, it's amazing that the racing stuff hasn't gone too insane as of yet.
I poured it all in the tank of the hemi Charger and then started her up. I could actually tell when the good gas made it to the carb. The idle just smoooothed out. I'd swear I heard the car make that "mmmmmmmm" yummy sound.

Re: Racing Fuel Prices
Get that Jack Podell additive. I buy it by the case and never had a problem with anything. Comes in 1 qt. plastic bottles. MAX LEAD 2000. Never had the carb apart in 4 years either. No gasket problems and no intake staining. Proper mixture gets you 103 octane.

I sometimes buy from a major petroleum supplier about 30 minutes from me and buy Sunoco 110 and it is $20 per gallon!! Double what it was in 2020. Just an hour away it is only $9 a gallon. Now THAT is sad!
