It's a 100 mi round trip to the nearest city, that would be Billings, and I
would rather start someone out on a full tank instead of finding out that it
ran low enough to start sucking air.  Besides, with that much mileage between
places, if the gauge looks low, the tank gets filled.  It's never been returned
on empty.

And in this racing deprived area, I'm not even sure anybody sells 117 octane.
I think that there's one place (in Billings) which sells unleaded VP.  Isn't
that around 106 Octane?

'Course there's no emissions or safety inspections, either.  :)

I went to school in North Haven.  There was someone in my class from
Bridgeport.  I can't seem to remember his name, though.  Chris something.
It'll come to me later.
