Fuel ripoff

[cambria]

Will we get ripped off by the fuel suppliers at the tracks across the country? At Rockingham for the final they wanted 12.00 a gallon for fuel.This is a ripoff.The pump guy said he was told to raise the price of the Torco that was in the pumps 2.00 per gallon a few days before everyone came for the final but he didn't.If the part about raising it 2.00 just before we all came is true this is just wrong.The price of 12.00 for VP is wrong also.We should be treated fairly at these tracks and not gouged.Making 1.00 on a gallon is more than enough but 5.00 or 6.00 per gallon is robbery.If they try to stick it to us we need to get organized and bring our own fuel until they make the prices fair.We bought our own fuel last year and only purchased it when we had too because the prices were nuts.We need to stand up as a group to this kind of stuff.
IHRA jusat announced VP as the official fuel I hope whomever the distributor is charges a fair price especially now that gas prices are sinking fast.

I can get you the VP fuel you need if you let me know. I live 45 minutes from Tim Sloan and go to Rockingham every year. Email me and tell me what you need and Ill get you the price.

Thats fine but why not let us run super unleaded like at a div race. What is VP doing for us ? (is the question).

I still haven't recieved my contingentcy money from VP for Virginia. ATI payed first, than Comp Cams. JW "The Wheel", has not paid yet, either. The dead beats will be removed.

I've run fuel that was $12/gal and switched to fuel that was $7/gal and the car ran exactly the same.

Best bang for the buck I've gotten in Sunoco Blue. (Bearden Oil distributor - www.beardenoil.com NC contact: dannypresnell@hotmail.com)

Never ran pump gas in my Sloan-built motor, but ran it for a month when I first bought the Volare and it ran the same as on race fuel. -=shrug=- I've run pump gas in my bracket Duster for years.

I was recently quoted $685.00 + tax and delivery for a 54 gallon drum of C-11. That is more than $12.00 per gallon delivered. I thought I could save a little money by purchasing gas this way. Also C-11 is not always available at the track. Then I have to drain the fuel cell and use a different fuel. I guess I am still better off buying fuel in smaller quantities at the events that have C-11.
