Title: Gas @ VIR... what octane?
Post by: ecumike on October 30, 2003, 09:07:24 AM
I know this is probably on this board somewhere, but I can't find it right now.

Does anyone know what octane of gas VIR has at the pumps?

I'm doing a trackday there and will need 100 or 102 Unl.  Does VIR sell that there?


Thanks for any help

Yep they have a credit card pump as I remember it is the SuNoCo dial-an-octane from 96-110  whether it has any fuel in the tanks would be the question and I would contact the track to find out if it is working still this time of year.

VIR (434)822-7700

I'm going on Nov 10. Full couse day, to test out the new 125.

I tried calling them, and just got voicemails.  left message though.

But didn't they have 3 pumps that are set with octanes.. like 100. 104 and 114 or something like that?

Mike, those are the correct Octanes! :)
I thought they were all leaded though  ???

Ask Bruce if he has a ETA on a certain article ;)
Please!
