I get 76 racing gas (100 Octane) at the pump for $6.49 Gallon

I would never do this except at the track myself...

This is true – be sure you don’t mix with pump gas that has ethanol – I made this mistake and had to drive mellow to burn the tank of fuel. It was OK for normal driving but who needs to pay extra $$ for that.

No – here's a great article - perhaps you can find a pump outlet in your area. I found an independant that sales TRICK racing 100 octane fuel at the pump. Just call the race gas companies and ask who they deliver bulk to.
