Hey F1,

I do not believe there is a Super Fuels at 75/635. However, there _is_ Motorsport Sales right there and they are a distributor of Phillips 66 racing fuels. Sell anything from 100 and 105 unleaded to 116 leaded fuel. It's good race gas. I have been purchasing fuel from them for years.

Take 75 N from 635 to Midpark (right by the TI plant). Go right, or east, on Midpark to Floyd Circle. Actually, Floyd Cr. makes a loop, so it intersects Midpark in two places. Just go til you get to the _2nd_ light as you're going east on Midpark. The 1st light is also Floyd Cr, but its not as close to go this way to get to Motorsport Sales. Take a left on Floyd Cr. and it will wind back around to your left about 300' after you've turned on Floyd. Almost immediately after the road has taken its bend back to the left, you will see Motorsport Sales on the right in one of the warehouses. It's not real easy to see, but you'll find it. Their # is 972-644-2533, if you get lost or need more info.

Hahaha...yeah, it's _expensive_ Doug.

I'm not a chemist and don't understand all there is about fuels, for sure, but from my understanding and research this is top-of-the-line fuel. It is NOT a bunch of anti-knock additives and blends to artificially raise the octane levels...which is what Super Fuels sells. This is pure race gas...and you pay for it.

They've got a number of helpful charts about octane ratings of their gas, specific gravity of the fuel, etc. I don't know what it all means. But, I do know I can safely add 45+ rwhp in my '90 LX running the 105 (which is a 100 road octane + 110 research octane...again, SF will just give you the research octane rating, and this is not completely accurate) unleaded over running the 93 unleaded. It has never failed me. Then again, the engine in that car is designed to take advantage of a fuel with this high of an octane rating.

You'll pay more for the unleaded per octane than you will if you run the leaded stuff, but that doesn't bother me.

Expect to pay ~$5/gal for the 100 octane unleaded which is expensive, no doubt. But, they store it correctly, unlike some places I've seen, and you know what you're getting. The service is excellent, as well.

Good luck.
