That's not gonna happen, and it shouldn't. We just had this thread a while back. While some would run a cheap pump gas, others would be back to exotic mixtures to get every ounce of hp possible, which I would probably take advantage of also. Fuel check is to keep the playing field level. If you want a cheaper fuel, run Sunoco blue. It's close to half the price of some VP fuels.

Henry, It’s much cheaper buying it by the drum then 5 gal cans. The Hazmat charge is the same, whether it’s 5 gallons or 54 gallons. C25 used to cost me 17.00 a gallon in a 54 drum. It was at least 20 if not 25 in a 5 gal can. It’s definitely the way. I’ll never buy it any other way, especially if I’m running a complete season. I know that’s not for everyone though. I also heard about VP raising their prices this year. I haven’t bought my fuel yet this year, so I don’t know how that is going change.

Re: C-11
 

I’d switch to Sunoco if we could run Surge. Not on the approved fuel list though….

hi,
I can run pump gas on the dyno?? mopar 400 8.1-1 comp. I have 2 pails of c-11 saving for march t/t

Re: C-11
 

As you know Ryan, I had good luck with the surge, we need to follow up with Sunoco and NHRA and get it back on the list.

Re: C-11
 

Was Surge better than sunoco blue ?

Re: C-11
 

Definitely. Was confused why it was taken off the list in the first place. Our car ran pretty much the same with the surge as it did with C11.

Re: C-11
 

Good morning Todd,
You are absolutely correct. I did buy some to make sure I would have enough fuel to finish the dyno session. I do buy fuel by the drum and it is cheaper per gallon then the 5 gallon containers. I was just showing the price increase a couple of months made and it looks like it will increase again. Yes, we went through the pump gas / race gas situation, no need to keep beating that horse. Unfortunately this is a small part of a big picture and I'll keep going as long as I physically can.
Have a Good Day.

Respectfully,

Re: C-11
 

Atco's fuel prices were very high for the last few years.....

$100 for 5 gals of any high octane VP or Sunoco when they had it.

Much cheaper buying from better sources and larger amounts....

C-11 was $1 more than C-12 the last time I was running either fuel....and for me made very little difference..

The hard part is getting it and transporting it in drums, always has been but it saves a lot of money.

There is a Sunoco dealer in Oakhurst that became a full line VP dealer last fall. Call Phil @ 732-496-0098,and see what he can do. He also races and tries to help on prices. John Kissel
