It has gone up the last few years. But it is a lot more expensive here than in Texas, due to shipping/frieght costs.

Well what exactly is VP Import? Octane rating, etc?
It is over 120 octane. It is oxygenated, so it actually adds HP over stuff like C16. The import race teams that tested it were seeing something like a 4% gain in HP at the same boost level compared to C16. It's the closest thing to running methanol as you can get for a "normal" gasoline. Marko with the white Supra ran the VP Import when he made 1500+whp with the wastegate line unhooked making over 50psi of boost and nitrous spraying. It doesn't smell like something you should be putting in your gas tank.
