110

shoot I forgot the name of the person who posted this question.
Most of the 110 I've seen is Low lead. Av-gas is also low lead.

Everyone is correct it will Clog the Cats up.. So you really don't wanna use it. Plus it would be a good idea to Reset the ECU so that adjust to your new mix. Sounds crazy but I've done this myself.

I think I put a little more then 1 gallon.. I made sure it was mixed. as you can melt pistons or so I've heard.

I think the SVX's Ecu would adjust but there has to be a limit as to how far..

I only did it once as I didn't want to clog up the cats. as for any difference. it ran a little a bit better.. Nothing that I can really prove. just what I noticed.

There is more energy in lower octane, then higher or so a Very smart engineer once explained to me how all this is worked out.
In short if the engine is NOT tuned for it, it's a waste of money and that even goes for regular cars burning 93...
If the car was designed to use 87, cahnces are it will run better or just as well on 87 Vs 93... unless it's knocking..

DON't burn your cats out.. WIth all the NEW emission standards that are coming out now.. you'll need those cats, some time..
