I'm looking to bring my stang home to cali for safe keeping while i am deployed, but because of my near 12:1 compression, i can't run it off 91 octane. my tuner refused to put a 91 tune on it. i'm looking to put a race gas tune on it, or mix 91 with race fuel, so i'm wondering if you guys can list for me some gas stations in the bay area that sell 100 octane or better? car won't be driven too much, just once or twice a month for a few miles to keep it running, so i'm not worried about the cost.

my mother lives in salinas, so the surrounding monterey/salinas area, and also the sacramento are where i might be storing it at my dads house.


thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

There is a 76 Station in San Jose that sells unleaded 100 octaine. Also, on Woodside road in Redwood City there is a 76 Gas station that sells unleaded 100 octaine.

And for the hard stuff, the Olympic gas station on South Linden Ave in South San Francisco sells Leaded 113 Octaine race fuel. However, it is illegal in California for them to allow you to pump Leaded fuel directly into your car. You must bring a gas can.

Those are all the statons I know of around here. Good Luck!

There is a ConocoPhillips Food Mart station in South Pasadena that sells 100-octane race gas for a little over $6.00 a gallon at the pump.

thanks guys, i spoke to my father and he told me the shop who built his bike knows of a few 76 stations in the sacramento area that sell it. looks like keeping a few 5 gallon cans on hand is all i'll need to do.

I don't mean to hijack, but what about around the north end of L.A. County? Or to make it easy, beween Bakersfield and San Fernando, the closer to the 5 or 99 freeways, the better.
