Torco 112.5 for $2.99 a gallon!
Stopped and checked my local station that carries Torco. They have 112.5 octane for $2.99 a gallon.
Might wanna stock up a few jugs in case it goes up this spring/summer. I think I am going to pick up $100 worth as soon as I can round up enough jugs.
Anybody else that wants some I can point you to the station. it's on the west end of battle creek right on M-89 about 3 miles west of M-37.

I've used this station for the last 4 or 5 years, but usually only grabbed 10 gallons right in the tank. Gotta love that smell
What's the shelf life of the stuff?

In sealed can (not plastic) till air or sunlight hits it your safe.
Once exposed to the above a month to 6 weeks at best. With a little evaporation its junk in two months. Gas tanks in cars are vented so never expect race fuel to store in that.
My nitrous fuel cell holds two gallons when full. I've seen the level drop a half gallon setting for 30 days and have the car run like a turd when that happens. I've had some crazy spitting, bucking, and surging happen when spray'n the car on the fuel that has had evaporation take place.
BECAREFULL bro!

ok, so I'll wait til spring I need to gett o know the owners of the station so I can find out when they refill the tanks. My car has 13.2:1 compression, so it's good to know I don't have to pay $5 a gallon at the track.
