Check out any Shell bulk plants/distributor in your area, they may or may not sell it to you, best bet is ask for it a drum at a time.....
I get mine by the drum, that is the least they will sell and WILL NOT pump it in any vehicle.....
On a side note concerning using it, this is what I've seen:
At my home road course, there is one car which is a mid 90's Busch car, 12.5 to 1 chevy motor, he's been racing the car for five years now and has run nothing but 100LL AVGAS in it, to date, no problems.....there's at least a dozen other racers using it also, same results.....
Main reason I use it in my race car is the distributor is also a
Mustang guy/friend and sells me the stuff at his cost, I only use one drum a year... I mix it with a locally blended 110 leaded gas 50/50....
Last gas I bought, the 110 race gas was about $8.00 a gallon and the av gas was a whopping $3.45 per gallon by the drum....I end up with two drums of 105 leaded race gas which easily makes me the race season......
Started using av gas back in the early 90's on a dirt track car when the local Shell distributor was a sponsor, he would give us 10 gallons of any fuel he had for each race night,we started with 93 octane premium and he suggested we try the avgas, and it was free, so we used it with no problems... he told us he sold avgas to at least a dozen or more local racers, as long as they brought their own containers...
BTW: my 18 hp lawn mower loves it!!!!!!!!!!
