Bandimere here in colorado has a contract with sunoco also and I know a few people that have used sunoco 116 and seem to like it but myself and some other racers still prefer VP

I have had great results from Sunoco fuels and it is one of the easier ones for me to get locally so I llike their fuel personally quite a bit.

VP is great too, cant go wrong there either but I have nothing bad to say about Sunoco and their prices seem a bit lower than VP here but that could be cause its not as available, freight costs, etc.

We've had zero issues with the maximal 116 either.

800+ hp b-series here. A lot of my customers are making the switch to Q16 to make more power though. I'm saving my pennies and using regular non oxygenated gas.

you can get sunoco anywhere. its the vp thats hard to get. woodburn has sold all the vp drums by the way, haha.

vp c16 is 700 a drum here and the sunoco 116 is 680 a drum.

rockett is no longer available in the nw unless you buy 4 drums at a time.

i just ran out of rockett 118, that stuff burned very weird, lots of condensation it seemed like.

what have you been running Graig?

I have run their 112 never really the 116 but I know that my local fuel prices have droped quite a bit too since last year and they are hoping to see another one possibly. I think last time I heard, its was right near 350.xx for a 55 gallon drum of 112.
