Oh, I'm absolutely not comparing pump gas of any flavor to the VP fuels. What I'm saying is that if you are going to use plain ole' pump gas, you're not doing yourself any favors by running premium.
The MR fuels are the schitz
It's funny to me how I have friends who are always telling me "There's no way I'm gonna spend $22 a gallon on fuel". I'm thinking, "Really? After spending $2500 in entry fees, fuel, hotels, meals, etc. to travel to Texas and race, I'm gonna worry about another $125 for a pail of fuel that might make the difference?"
A couple of years ago at Mojave, I ran a total of 13 runs, all over 198 with a best of 199.9. If I had've skimped on fuel, I'd have slit my wrist
