I was filling up my Oldsmobile today and had to do a double take when I seen a sign that said 110 Octane. It is $8.00 a gallon but at least I have the option. :2thumbs:  :coolgleamA:

I bought 6 gallons of 110 leaded for my own precious in Detroit yesterday.  More octane than I need?  Yes.  Expensive?  Yes.  Do I regret it?  No.

Its just going to be cool to pull up to the pump and dump some 110 into my Charger. :icon_smile_big:

I'll have to look and see what prices are at the local dirt track.

Wouldn't we have to retune our cars to account for the higher octane?

To make it effective, without a doubt.  In the case of my car, it had some old fuel in it and it was pinging some plus I wanted to get a little of that lead on the valve seats.

We have it here also in St.Pete, FL. I've been running it about 4 months now. It's 8.39 a gallon.

7.99 a gallon in the motor city yesterday.  You have to wonder why so much difference.

I haven't bought any yet this year but probably this week,  the hemi car likes it.  Last time I bought it it was 7.99 a gallon.  I get six and a half mpg.  It's worth every penny.

Does higher4 octane increase mpg in our old cars? Ma6be it was but I filled up twice on 110 and it increased mpg, maybe in my head since I tried to justify the purchase.

Running 110 octane in a car that runs fine on 91 is like a regular guy buying MAGNUM condoms. You'll never need or use what you are paying for.
I do like the smell of leaded fuel when I've ran it. Personally, I'm more impressed with high performance engines that are set up well enough to run on traditional pump gas.

I agree with Red70-the 110 Octane is usually as useful as a Magnum condom. Bt then again both come in handy when you just want to get on it.
