Post High Octane Fuel in Northern California

Wasn't sure where this should be posted so I'll start it off here. Searched and found there were some posts on various locations in Southern California. Figured I would add a thread for Northern California. This is not a complete list so I'm hoping other members can contribute to the list and I will update as people post their hook ups. I suggest people call if you have to travel a distance to a particular location to confirm what they have


Redwood City
Kings 76 Station
975 Woodside Road, 94061-3610
650-364-9620
They have Torco 100 octane off a pump and I hear you can purchase higher octane fuel if you bring your own container.


San Leandro
Rich's Automotive Service
1495 Hays Street, 94577-3626
510-483-4318
They have VP Racing Fuel in 93.5 and 100 octane at the pump.


Sonoma
Infineon Raceway
http://www.infineonraceway.com/contact_us/
1-800-870-RACE
There is a Sunoco gas station on property with 91, 96 & 100 octane unleaded and 110, 112 & 114 octane leaded available.


San Jose ( Thanks to Members LWL and shragon for the address! )
Almaden Racing Fuel
76 Station at Almaden and Foxworthy
3010 Almaden Expressway
408-264-3661
Serves 100 octane at the pump 24-7.


South San Francisco
Gotelli Speed Shop
http://www.gotellispeedshop.com/
321 El Camino Real, 94080
650-589-8616
I didn't call in but heard they have "race" fuel sold in a little drum/barrel.


Sunol
Sunol Super Stop
3004 Andrade, 94586
925-862-0577
They carry Torco 100 octane unleaded, 110 + 114 + 118 leaded. I read that the 100 and 110 are served via pump.


Rancho Cordova/Sacramento
Valley Motorwerks
www.vmwerks.com
11401 White Rock Rd. 95742
916-636-9526
100 unleaded and 111 leaded.


I read somewhere there was a location in Hayward called ERC. I hear it's off the Hesperian exit but was unable to locate this place.

No, cars that have not been tuned to burn higher octane gasoline will see little or no gains in performance. Some places I've been to so I know of them, the others were found on forums and I made calls to find out their address and what they serve.
