A station near me has 110 fuel

Safe to run in my '16?

Don't know that answer but if you drop in on your paint it will eat it so please be careful!

Safe...yes. Benefits...probably none. This would equate to running 93 octane in a Kia that runs on 87 octane.

I run it in my gen 2 gts (roe blower/ water meth) when on a road course just to be safe, not typically that high all the time, but I have done it . But if your car is stock I don't see the point. Just wasting money. Its like my mom saying "Every now and then I put 93 in the Hyundai elantra, it runs so much better afterwards".....ok mom if you say so. lol

110 is probably leaded. I wouldn't mix leaded fuel with today's O2 sensors. The lead eats them up.

The highest unleaded fuel I have seen is 109.....but there could be an unleaded 110 out there somewhere.

And like stated before....in factory form you're wasting money.

Thanks guys. I'll skip the 110 and spend the saved $$ on a bigger lunch.

Thx

110/115 usually is leaded. You could put 100 though but it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig (although that Kya analogy was so much better :D )
Using 100 is good on a car that is tuned and where you want to avoid knocking.

Then again, I should probably say that to the idiots who go to the local airports to get kerosene for their ricers... :lame:

The main problem is that stoich is substantially lower, therefore, your a/f will be way off, probably, will lose hp.

Years ago I ran Trick 100 octane unleaded, the car felt like it lost power compared to 91.
