    VP Racing Gas at the pump

    Hey guys,
    I was just over at a local station that pumps VP 100. So this is more of a FYI.
    I got to thinking that not everyone may know about this place, so I figured I'd post it up in case of need.
    It's the Glassmere Gas Station Directly across the New Kensington Bridge.
    Oh yeah ....it's $7.50 / gallon.

    Might be a good idea to post up other stations that sell VP.

    Thanks John, I saw their sign said street legal race fuel when I've been by, but hadn't had a chance to stop. Are they only selling the 100, or are they still selling 110 leaded as well?

    Mikey, if you ever get in a jam or forget your fuel, they're right across the bridge from me, less than 5 minutes.

    I stopped and asked them about the gas last year because someone had told me they sold race gas. They were off season and stocking kerosene at the time, but told me that the race gas they sell is leaded? I wasn't aware they started selling unleaded, I'll keep that in mind. Sometimes I like to add a gallon here and there for the good smelling fumes, lol

    They are advertising it as "Street Legal" so I assume it's unleaded.

    I have drivin by there numerous times n saw it advertised, plus my dad's been tellin me about them havin it their too. We stopped their last year after a Mills car show cruise and it was out for the season. That'd be really sweet if it was unleaded, I luv to throw a gallon er two in for the beautiful smell!!

    Typically the no-lead 100 doesent have any smell beyond normal gas. I have run the street blaze 100 a lot, and never noticed any difference.

    X2, the unleaded 100 octane doesn't smell any different.

    Yeah it smells like money
    I thought about running that but I was shocked at the price.
    I might be interested if its cheaper by the drum and a few of us when in on it.

    Anyway, Beaver Run also had sunoco 100 unleaded at their pump when I was there last year.

    Sweet - thanks for the info.... I think i'll have to stop by and get a couple 5-gallon cans of it..... only thing i'll run it through is my MX bike probably.... i run too much gas through the vette and the r1 to be putting fuel that expensive in....
