Socal Ethanol & Race Gas Stations
Anyone have a list or source with a list of ethanol or race gas stations in socal? I'm in north Irvine and don't know of any places remotely close by.
I used yelp a while back and found a place I believe in newport that had 100 octane at $10/gal but saw a review from Feb 2021 that said they no longer have it.

Shoot, looks like the closest place is a 16 mile roundtrip from home. That's about a whole gallon used just to get gas lol

What mixture are you running? 1.7oz per tank or so?

Oh no, with our terrible gas I run 8oz a tank. It's overkill, but I assume that we are actually pumping true 87 out of the 91 and I want to get to 95 octane to run the stage 2 93 octane BM3 map. I used to run 4oz but would have occasional timing/knock issues with that.

It's ridiculous how crappy our fuel in CA is. I'm in Ventura county and have 3 e85 stations and a station in Agoura hills with 100 at the pump. 100 pump is stupid expensive. I've thought about just buying a 55 gallon drum.

These guys sell 45 gallon drums of 100Octante for $540 and looks like they're located in OC

I've moved on from the Boostane mix, it wasn't effective enough for me to run the BM3 stage 2 93 octane, now I'm on the Stage 2 E30 blend and the car is faster and happier than it has ever been. I'm using the station at Crown Valley and Niguel now. It's the closest one for me. |

That gas station is a little bit of a drive from me (about 16 miles) but probably the closest station unless I head to Santa Ana. I'll have to try it out sometime as I am pretty bored with stage 1 lol. What is the mix, about 4 gallons of e85 and the rest 91?

The difference from stage 1 is huge. WOT is a major difference. The E30 mix is actually slower at low speeds unless you dial back the boost in 1 and 2 because it causes such severe traction control intervention. That's part of the reason I am looking towards an 18 x 10.5 rear, I need some more and stickier rubber in the back. |
