Hi octane fuel
Hi guys,
Periodically I hear about service stations that sell hi octane fuel(110 or there about) in the Woodstock,Roswell and Alpharetta areas, but no one has been able to tell me exactly where these oasis of octane are located. I just tried to find a BP that was to be located north of hiway 92 on Bells Ferry, after driving to what seemed like Tenessee, I couldn't find it.
So, anyone who knows something about gas, other than the bean and broccoli kind, help !

Lou,
The high octane (100) is located in Alpharetta in Crabapple. It is now a Shell station at the intersection of Crabapple Rd, Hwy 372 & Broadwell - Just past the Silos located at Crabapple Rd & Arnold Mill Rd. (Hwy 140).

Cracker,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the exact location info.
I should have come here earlier instead of following guess work...

There is a place closer on 41.
Go up 41 until you pass that little airport on the right (East side) of 41. McCollum field I believe.
Staying on 41 go on through the light and over a bridge perhaps, or something that could be mistaken for a bridge by a drunk at night.
Go through a light and then on the left there is a gas station that sells race gas, or did last year anyway.The pump is on the sidewalk by the door to the store, not where the island of pumps are.

Um ... Johan, sounds like you're describing the Phillips 66 in Kennesaw. It's on the South side of Cobb Pwy - the "go thru a light" part is Kennesaw Dues West Rd. It sits on the corner of Dobbs Dr and Cobb Pwy - 2500 block.

 - I'm currently SVO-less ... guess I need to change my screen name. Sold my white 85 yesterday. Buyer flew in from NJ, slapped the green backs down the table and drove it home. I felt sooo bad that I went out and bought myself another motorcycle. |

I bought some over in Anniston, Alabama this past labor day weekend - it was $5 gal for 110 octane unleaded.

Surprised no one has mentioned Xylene or Tolulene. There is a thread here if you do a search that gives % additive to octane rating, i.e. 10% Xylene = 96 octane when mixed with 93 octane. The stuff is getting hard to find and expensive thanks to the meth labs use, but works well.

Why do you need 110 octane?
Do you run a very high compression motor? If you are running 10:1 or there about you don't need more than 93 octane. You may not be getting as much power out of higher octane fuel unless you are 12:1 or better. It smells better to run race fuel but you will not get better power unless the car is tuned to use the high octane fuel. The specific gravity of the high octane is higher than regular fuel or something like that. I don't get more power out of race fuel. If I tune the carbs for it then I cannot run 93 octane and perform well. I drive the car on the street and don't want to keep tuning back and forth from race fuel to street fuel setup. That's why I don't run the race fuel in my Cobra. I do in my racecar but that is not driven on the street and I can get race fuel at the track all the time, most of the time I bring it along to save$$$ but it's hard to brimg enough for the whole weekend. Good luck!!

110 I believe.
It is leaded, which is a good thing for cars without sensors in the exhaust.
It "keeps" longer than the stuff they sell as gasoline today.
