Hey, y'all in Southwest Ohio, when's the winter gas get switched?

Doug, not sure when it switches but the Sunoco by King's Island has 94 octane and seems to run fine in Eric's 418. By the way, nice valve covers got the same ones. They are dress up the engine bay....

I am waiting for my vin numbers and I should be good to go...I'll drop you a line and maybe we can make some noise around town...

Thanks, and you're on.

But I do know that the winter gas will load up bigtime when it warms up and it's warming up now.

So, anyone know?
Thanks!

Most of our refinery here inToledo is shut down for a major turn-around so we aren't making much in the way of product , and what we can make is limited by component availability.
As soon as we start up, I'll let you know, maybe before then, I'll ask around and see if they know what RVP we'll be blending at start-up. I go back in tonight. I'm a chief operator in the blending department.

Yes,
We'll be blending summer gas with a lower RVP of 7.5 to maybe 8.3 now going into summer. We're only making about 1500 BPH now until our Turn-Around is finished. With the warming weather I can't wait to get my EM Cobra painted and finished!
