    Unleaded Race gas at the Pump?

    Anyone know of any place to easily pick up 5-10 gallons of unleaded race gas in Phoenix? Preferably on the northwest side of town. I want to run some through the car before Saturdays meet at Speedworld. The car has too much timing in itr right now. Pinging pretty good in 2nd gear when it's to the floor. Can't get back to the shop before Saturday to dial it down, so I'll try some good fuel.

    What kind of premium gas do you guys have out there? In Chicago, we usually get 93 octane premium at most name brand stations [Mobil/BP/Shell]. 100 octane race gas is also readily available. Yesterday I was on my was to a doctor's office and had to settle for 92. I had a frown on my face as I was putting it in the Cobra.

    STAY AWAY FROM UNION HILLS & CAVE CREEK STATION! It used to be ok but a few months ago was sold and I have two bad comments re: their gas. My neighbor has a modified 69 Z28. He has to run 101-109 octane (depending on outside temp). He put five gallons of their gas in his car and it would start but barely run. He had to drain it out.

    I took a brand new six gallon plastic gas can to fill up. I filled it exactly to the six gallon mark molded into the plastic. Their pump told me I had put over 7 1/2 gallons in a six gallon can. At the regular pump I probably wouldn't have said anything... but at over $5/gal I was pretty miffed to say the least. I complained to the guys behind the counter but they blew me off. I called the Weights & Measures guys and they checked it a couple of weeks later. They called me and said there was a small leak inside the pump? No way did it leak over a gallon of gas onto the ground inside the pump without being noticed. My guess is that they found some way to mess with the pump.
