HAHAHAHA....that's funny.

Well, for the drive, Dan suggested going up to SF and perhaps doing a scenic tour of Golden Gate and then maybe on to Treasure Island. I'm going to try and meet with him this Sat morning at the exotics meet at Santana Row to try and work on the details.
Driving in SF will break the caravan easily. Choose something else in Livermore or something similar. I'll find out and let you guy know Is it OK, Joe?

I definitely do not want to drive through city streets in SF. If possible, Dan and I would only plot a course for freeway driving and easy on/easy off stopping points. If you guys want to do Livermore, we can maybe do the wine thing at Wente again. There's a really great driving road over there, I just forgot the name.

Haha sure why not, if I can get my tax return in time I'll be throwing on an extra free flowing mod............

Yeah I was afraid of that happening, it's impossible to caravan in the city, especially if it's on a nice crowded day......... I'll work out the drive route with Tony come Saturday.

There's a 76 in SJ that sells high octane gas, you want the details? Not sure how far that is from our meet tho.
Do tell...

Geez, ECF. I haven't even moved to San Jose yet and I already know where to fill up with 100 octane. It's not too far from where you live and where I will soon be living. Here's the address:

Almaden Racing Fuel
3010 Almaden Expy, San Jose, CA

I've never had a reason to get racing fuel. Hey, regarding that other thread (Dinan ECU) about dyno testing, we should do some before and after runs with racing fuel too....

Hahaha yep that's the one. There's a few other places in the east bay that sells them by the drums, just car shop stores but I'm guessing that the pump station should be a bit cheaper......... YEAH at like $8 a gallon or something! Actually I don't really know how much it is but it's probably double regular 91.......

i havent tried any 100 octane here.. ive been wanting to try the 1/2 tank 91 and 1/2 100 but it is pretty expensive. last time i checked the station in huntington beach had 100 octane for $5.68 a gallon and the one in fullerton had it for $6.99 per gallon.
