Possible fuel pickup...

Wasted wages · Jan 25, 2023

I will be making a road trip from Atlanta to Dallas with a stop over in Jackson or Vicksburg MS starting tomorrow.
Will be driving a straight shot on I-20 west.

Anyone along this route that has gallons of fuel for sale, please let me know.
Looking for 3-4 gallons of 40 or 50% ...
Trying to avoid shipping hassles and costs!

Thanks!!
Frank

Ooch.

VP is a bit expensive.

They only sell 40% or 60%.

$80 a gallon for 40%
$103 a gallon for 60%

Those prices were if you buy 6 in a case.

Frank, Where about do you live?

I live in Dallas.... I have been in touch with the regional rep from VP ... I'm trying to buy their 50/50 nitro methanol blend to make my own fuel. But VP can't tell me when they are going to restock it. And the shipping is outrageous,, like 220 bucks to ship a single 5 gallon bucket... so I was willing to drive from Dallas to San Antonio to pick up a few buckets... but even the warehouse is out of stock...

Gee, I might be in your area this summer. Wife and I are looking at a road trip to the Gulf coast and might be stopping in Arlington to visit friends along the way. Prior to getting into the DFW area, we're looking at a stop at "The Big Texan" in Amarillo so I can try "The 72 Ounce Challenge". I already know I'll never make it through the whole meal and don't plan on making myself sick trying to force it down. I do like the idea of leftover steak for 4-6 days though

Yeah, I emailed John the other day, and need to call him...kinda saving this as a last resort.

Shipping of quarts seems excessively dumb to me, but I get it with today's shipping rules...it's a waste of a lot of raw materials...
(No disrespect John... it just is what it is and i know it can't be helped.)

I did get a bit of "good news"! ...I received an email from the regional VP rep, and they have the 50/50 blend back in the warehouse..
So, it looks like a road trip to San Antonio next week is in my plans!!

Do yourself and your wallet a favor. Take a selfie with your wife in front of the "Big Texan" sign as you walk over to Whataburger. Its so much better!

Hydro Junkie · Jan 26, 2023

Okay guys, you have to remember, IT'S A TOURIST STOP!!!!
If I want to have a really good steak, there's the Lonestar, Texas Roadhouse or, if I wan't to stay close to home, The Scuttlebutt Brewery and Restaurant. Haven't been to a Lonestar in years, TR was last July, after the Saturday H-1 racing was over and, as for the Scuttlebutt, that was last Saturday evening
