That's a complex question, very dependent upon where you live. Many tuning shops also carry race fuel. As you said, you can find it at race tracks, and of course race fuel distributor locations. When you move to the UK, why not consider your fuel supply when you pick the place to live?

Don't forget you only need high octane fuel when you mash the accelerator pedal to the floor. Whenever you drive like a granny, pump gas is just fine.

I'm not trying to talk you out of alcohol injection. However, it would be another completely new system on the car, and a therefore a new potential failure point. Running race fuel avoids this complexity. Lastly, alcohol injection has a max horsepower limit; if you quickly outgrow 600rwhp, that alcohol injection system could turn out to be a waste of time and money.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
