The price of race gas...

The funny thing about gasoline prices in L.A. is self-serve premium unleaded is slowly gaining on the cost of 101 octane gas in some locations. I've been thinking how at one point, both premium and race gas will cost the same.

Or, possibly my thought will be incorrect, and high octane gas will increase exponentially as has standard street car gasoline.

I posted this thread in the Porsche Autocross and Track Racing forum, asking about the price of race gas at the track...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=278436

However, here, I'd simply like to know if it should be expected that race gas will increase as has standard consumer gas.

One scenario in which I can understand an increase in racing gas comes from a monopoly big oil companies (Unocal, for example), has on all types of gasoline, race gas included.

And yet, one scenario where I can imagine race gas not increasing is simply because the supply and demand is not there...

Please, what are your thoughts?
