Re: sunoco fuel
I'm sticking to VP. They've always treated me well and the fuel performs as desired. With that said, if I got jammed up and had to run Sunoco for a race here or there, which one would "cross" to C12? My research would indicate the "supreme". Does that seem correct? Thanks.

Re: sunoco fuel
Dan, you could also run the standard (purple). We have always run Sunoco. Started with blue, switched to purple and now back to blue these last few years. Haven't noticed much difference, except price.

Re: sunoco fuel
I've switched back and forth frequently since I have no place to put a drum and buy whatever's available. Sunoco Blue and C-12 are very close. Any performance difference would likely be just in the tuneup. Blue was .01 quicker in the 1/8th, for my particular tuneup this weekend.

Re: sunoco fuel
Michael is right, if you were looking for all out and have a tune up for each fuel you may not see a difference. C11 always worked best for my stuff, even "tuning up" for each fuel. The big difference in the fuels are Sunoco is petroleum based, and VP uses all man made additives (synthetic) i just always hated the slime feeling from Sunoco. IF by some chance VMP isnt pumping fuel for that weekend the closest place to get it that i know of is AED Performance off exit 64 on I-95. 804-271-6076 ext 3

Re: sunoco fuel
I heard from other racers that Sunoco was not checking legal consistantly
at Vegas. I know one race bought a barrel fresh this Feb. and flunked in Pomona and Vegas. So far no satisifaction or replacement from Sunoco to date. He is upset.

Re: sunoco fuel
I ran Sonoco at Gainesville and Charlotte and had no problems. I bought it on site at both races though.
