If you have a small airport by you, you could possibly buy it from them. That's what i do here in illinois.

You just fill 5 gallon cans or do you fill the car at the airport?

See if there are any drag racers living around you. Maybe you can ask them or order your fuel through them?

The way to do it is to bring 5-gallon gas can and use that. Never try to fill a car directly at an airport. The self serve pump is usually by the edge of the tarmac and you can just walk up and use your credit card right at the machine. We have a couple local commuter airports within 10 miles of my house. They have the 100 octane "low lead' which the old cars seem to love. A lot of guys also use it for gas-powered landscaping tools since the ethanol mixed fuel is really bad on them.

As for price, it is usually only around a buck more a gallon than whatever 93 octane fuel is going for at the local gas station that day.

Can you mix with normal 91 unleaded that contains ethanol?

You can, but it's the ethanol you want to avoid. You don't have non-oxy gas where you are ? Stations around me discovered there is a BIG market for it and have added pumps over the past several years.
