C&C in Manassas is where I buy my C-16, just got a 54gal drum for $450. There is a drum charge, but I forget how much since I already had one from previous purchases.

55gal drum of sunoco 100 unleaded at pro-line for 220, 104 unleaded is around $240 iirc.
Cheapest place I've seen for c-16 pails is jackson auto machine, but i think they stopped shipping them recently...

lead kills O2's, no other problems, but I've had better knock counts with 100 unleaded and 100LL than with 110 leaded for some reason...

Leaded fuel will clog up catalytic converters too. If you put leaded fuel in your car, it would be wise to use an off road-pipe if your cat is not already gutted. Lower octane fuels are cheaper, but C-16 will allow you to run loads of timing with lots of boost and very little knock. Although if you don't have extensive timing adjustment(standalone), the C-16 may not benifit you more than 110.
