Sunday July 14th CV/Palomares/Sunol Drive
Start at Bodi's Java in Castro Valley. Meet between 9 and 10:00am. Leave at 10:05am, taking East Castro Valley Blvd to Palo Verde then right onto Palomares. Cruise casual because there will probably be lots of idiots on bicycles. Palomares to Niles Canyon. Left on Niles Canyon. Careful, it's a dangerous left. Niles Canyon to 680 South. Stay right at the stop sign in Sunol. 680 South one exit and off at Andrade. Left over the freeway to Sunol Super Stop for some race gas. There are only one 2-sided pump, but you can carry the pump over the car. There's also E85. Then we go our separate ways or return along Palomares back to Castro Valley.

Sounds like a nice little drive down Palomares (taking it down to Fremont tonight). Usually like to take my Sunday drives earlier specifically because of the cyclists (plus I get back in time for brunch with the wife). Put me down as a maybe

I saw those early drives and said, "Ugh! I'm not getting out of bed!" So this is one for the late risers I suppose.

LOL it's the perfect route, but I might just decide to do it one time in the early morning to enjoy the clear road, then meet up with you guys, and then do it again.

Protip: The cash/debit price is .10 cents/gal less, but the pump (especially the left side one for our cars) can be finicky. Best to take your debit card inside and let them hang onto it and open the pump up for you, pump your desired amount, and then go in and complete the transaction.
This way you are guaranteed to get the "cash price"! Quote:

the one nice thing I've noticed at the Sunol Super Station, is that while the price of 87 fluctuates everyday, the race gas prices all stay the same. I have a photo of the pump from 7 months ago and the prices were the same for the 94-100. So when the price goes up on 87/91, you're getting a better deal on the 94.
Well, we've had prior discussions about how the car prefers 94 octane and takes a performance hit when running 91. (Before anyone questions it once again, it's in the BRZ owner's manual.) Has anyone though done the calculations and figured out what is most cost effective... i.e. buy 8 gallons of 91 and then add 2 gallons of 100 (that was roughly what Robispec recommended to me in LV), or a full tank of 94, or other variations... like buy 5 gallons of 87 and 5 gallons of 100? Math makes my head hurt.
