100 octane in LA

Posted in the SoCal forum too, but put this here hoping for more responses. Does anyone know where I can find some 100+ octane race fuel in the West LA area?? Preferably at a pump...

Station on the corner of Vanowen and DeSoto (At least about 6 months ago there was) that sold 98 octane. Price was around 6.50 a gallon

76 station on the corner of Victory and Platt sells it, but only in 5 gallon jugs. Not sure on the price.

Gas in LA is expensive enough, you don't need 100 octane! .

Both those stations are in the San Fernando Valley, not sure about LA proper...

What about in the Midwest? I've never seen anything above 91 octane, but would love some 100+! Yummmm!

One specifically for West Los Angeles - this one supposedly carries 100 octane:

That's Jet A, I'd highly advise against trying to use that in your car... it more closely resembles kerosene than gasoline .
