Any one else ever notice huge differences in the burn rates and octane ratings?? I used to run Sunoco 110-112 all last year car ran 100% all the time. Switched to VP RED and VP 110 and all the car did was break up top end causing early shifts. Just wanted to see if anyone else ever had problems switching between brands. ---

yup I have a wholesale guy for VP but you have buy a shit load of gas. I looked into C16 and his price works out to about 8 a gallon which is the shit since a lot of guys are paying 12 or so ---

> [@GeneralG](#): > > By the drum or pump? > > I’ve heard quality control is much better controlled when getting it by the drum. VP RED was a 5 gallon drum VP 110 was at the pump after the RED wasnt working. My guess is that the sunoco has a slower burn rate than the VP, making my car break up top end. Either that or VP just doesnt like my car hahaha. ---
