Default VP Fuels retailer neat fort drum/syracuse?

Im having a very hard time finding a place that sells c16 near me. Im located near fort drum. so far the closest place Ive found is +/- 70 miles away and i was wondering if there was anything closer. Ive been trying to call VP east but they have been closed for the last few days and will be closed for the next few also. Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Does it have to be VP? According to the 2 mins on spent on google, Can Am Enterprises in Evans Mills sells Sunoco leaded and unleaded race fuels.

I prefer VP, the car is already tuned on c16. I may have found it, Number One Speed in Watertown says they are a VP dealer. I need to wait until monday to see if they stock C16 or if i have to order a barrel.

Esta safety park in Syracuse. They just poured a brand new 330 foot diamond honed pad at the beginning of this season.

The problem with VP is you're paying for a name, granted the fuel is high quality but I can get a drum of methanol for 145 from a small company locally. It's a lot more through VP. Same thing just fancier label and higher overhead.

And given the cost of base stock fuels it can't hurt to find an alternative.

I may switch to sunoco in the future, After i do some more work to the car and am ready to have the boost turned up and the car retuned. I dont want to retune it twice for no reason.
The other issue is that Im from baltimore. And VP there is easy to find but Sunoco is few and far between.
