100UL Parker Oil

[Rivrat]

Well as of now there is only 28 gallons left of 100LL at Parker oil in Parker. They will be pumping the new 100UL tomorrow at the tune of 8.30 a gallon.

 

[Todd Mohr]

They told me 7.49 a gallon 2 weeks ago.

 

[SoCalZero]

Ouch!

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

What’s the price of 91NE at Parker? I forgot to look this weekend.

 

[DUNEFLYER]

Who is supplying the 100UL?

 

[Jed-O]

What's the point of running unleaded. $8.30 a gallon and my valves are going to be pissed off...

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Curious if it is 100UL aviation fuel, there are 2 companies producing such gasoline. Be interesting to find out.

Mid $4's 2 weeks ago. I bought 30 gallons and then moved the boat to the 87 E pumps and finish the fill. Their Diesel $3.99.

The only reason I purchase Non-Ethanol is to theoretically cut the E fuel's percentage in half. I wish I could purchase 87 NE in Parker.
My Low compression big block needs nothing special.

If you’re willing to make the trek to Havasu the Maverick on the 95 on the south side of town sells 87 clear gas which is NE.

Whether it's true or not, I just heard over the weekend that the airport is going to be the only place in Parker selling AV gas. My friend set up an account, heard it was $6.20 per gallon.

Bumped to $6.50 in a week….

He just bought it Saturday I think. I haven't been following along to see it it's a federal law or something. If it were important, I could call over there, I know the airport manager.

I am just getting ready to build a new engine for my Hallett, probably will set it up for 91 octane.

 

[AZLineman]

If you're gonna run this UL shit run 1/2-1oz per gallon of MMO. The prices are ridiculous and getting right there with race fuel. I'm tuning for pump premium going forward. I wish they would come out with a 91/93 blue fuel

sent you PM

I reached out to Parker Oil and just got a reply...for some reason I can't copy/paste it, so here's the bullet points.

-No more AV gas, all is sold as of now.
-Federal Regulations made them do it
-Sunoco Super Sport 100 octane is available at the pump starting today....priced pretty high, but they're hoping prices will come down as volume increases (it will replace a lot of pump AV gas everywhere)
-100LL will be going away in its entirety in the not too distant future

Guess I'm putting the stock heads back on the merc. AV was great at $6/gallon or whatever it was the last few years...

 

[Sleek-Jet]

100LL isn't going anywhere any time soon. California has proposed a moratorium, but that is hardly nation wide. The FAA can't figure out how to implement 100UL without an avalanche of paperwork and cost. The GA industry has been trying to come up with a TEL replacement that is seamless but hasn't been 100% successful. So until then you will be able to buy "ethyl" somewhere.

A large flight school was using 100UL and had to stop after a couple hundred hours because of valve seat issues (sound familiar?).

9.5% ethanol…..

 

[DUNEFLYER]

If not for politics we would have an approved 100UL AV gas at the pumps already. But we cant make this political

Can you tow your boat and fill it or just gas cans?

 

[ChrisV]

Guess I’ll just mix half 91 and half race fuel.

They should have gone with 260 GTX. Though it’s not road legal apparently.

Nope not buying that shit. Parker Oil only. I have no idea what the Indians are buying for fuel. The joke is probably it’s the same 91 as the regular pump with a $1 markup for the stupid whiteys.

You can tow your boat up to the fuel island.

They have been known to do that. Was that you sometime back that pointed out the Race Gas wasn't race gas after I felt no results with it? In the YFZ 450's you can hear and feel the difference, sometime even smell it.

 

[OCMerrill]

They have been known to do that.

What a cash cow the Running Man is. They don't pay any tax what so ever, they buy whatever fuel they want from whoever they want, little chance they are QC'ing anything. Did the correct gas go into the correct tank? Who knows.

I used to buy their diesel but stopped back in 2020 when my 18 Ram started to run terrible, very rough idle, etc.. After three cleaning doses of XPD things improved.

BTW speaking of gas and Indians: Morongo Casino now has a second travel center up the hill 100 yards from the old location but still-operating pumps. Gas was about 50 cents cheaper then even the lower pumps. Saved 20 bucks this morning.

Good to know. My daughter and her boyfriend are staying there now. I laughed as there room is up high in the tower and she said the led Mural/TV/Giga Video Game is a bit hard to live with when you have lost your money, are stupid drunk, and want to sleep.

I told her we would overnight a crying towel.

Ive been told by multiple Parker locals and the manager of Parker airport to NEVER buy ANY fuel from Running Man. Thats got to be worth something

So where in parker sells race fuel? LL or UL. Going to blythe in two weeks so need to grab some 100oct in parker.

Why do you run only 100 octane in your motors? When I had my stoker with a 280, and even with my 300s I’ve been told 50/50 (100 octane and 91) by Fallon and a few others who I trust that running it 50/50 with premium is perfect for the motors and not worth the extra cost to buy race gas or 100LL. I believe (not 100% certain as I sold my stoker a few years ago) that it calls for 92 octane which I’ve never seen at the river, but not 100 octane. Unless yours have been hopped up an require it, then I totally understand. I really like running the 100LL from the airport because I know it won’t lose octane when it sits over time in between trips. It’s really easy to get it at Havasu Airport.

Parker oil in Parker has 100UL. $8 a gallon. It’s a Sunoco product.

 

[Boat 405]

Sunoco 260 gt. 100 octane unleaded

The texaco in havasu has it. Ive run it for years. $9.49 a gallon.

Heads are cut so compression a higher than stock. But I usually do 50/50 when I could only get race gas and not Av fuel.

 

[FROGMAN524]

Can you run 91 and add bottled of VP octane booster?

 

[ChrisV]

Can you run 91 and add bottled of VP octane booster?

Rather not. I really don’t want to grenade the engines. So I just pump race fuel as a precaution.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Fuel is the cheapest part of these boating programs! Pump the good shit in and send it! Trying to save $100 will cost thousands! Race and AV is cheap insurance!

It's heavier too. 6.25lbs for 100UL vs. 6.0 for 100LL

 

[500bbc]

100LL at the airport with the best service imaginable is the way to go.
It was like getting filled up by a pit crew.

Agree. I do not want to blow my engine cause it would take forever to get rebuilt.

Does Parker have an airport? I’ll roll up with couple drums…

Are you going to Blythe or Parker?

I always fill a drum and the boat at the Parker airport. Airport manager is always cool.

Blythe has a couple spots too, or, at least they did. Blythe has an airport I believe and there’s also the VP Racing gas station off of Intake Blvd. I think that’s the exit. It’s over by the Popeye’s chicken. You could always call and see what’s at the pump.

Boat is in Parker. So picking up boat around 6am and then head to mclyntyre. Need to be on the water at 9am so need to plan this accordingly.

I’ll call Parker airport and ask.

I've used the airport in Blyth to fuel up before the LRR in the morning, Just call the day before let them know your coming by in the morning.
