I use Texaco and Chevron when I can, but lately I've been putting cheap 91 octane in and then putting 4 gallons of 100 octane in from the VP racing station in Tracy....the car will ping sometime, that's why I put the 100 octane in.

Good man. Keeping it in the USA. 1 thought... have apex pull a degree of timing. then you don't have to use any race gas.
BP is one of the few I can see... at least they're UK owned.
FWIW... I'm not totally nuts. I buy some things from other countries but I'm more than happy to pay a little more to keep an American in a job... even if they are shitty jobs.

given your proximity to the gulf I'd bet one of the local concerns is behind racetrack. I've never heard of them. Ask the manager of one of them. They should know. The cashiers probably wouldn't.

Only gas for me.
You guys might be surprised to know (or maybe not) most of your gas stations are using the same gas, from the same wells. I drove a Gas Tanker about 6 years ago and with all of the different branded stations here in Eastern NC only BP/Amoco and Exxon/Mobil were specific. Everything else came out of the same tank. No shizzle.

Im surprised they still offer 94 over there. They dont offer it in Philly anymore, which is odd b/c the refinery is here in Philly.
