Theres a gas station near me that sells 110 octane race gas, but it says that its leaded. I like the idea of putin in some high octane as a suplement every once in a while, but since its leaded Im guessin I should definately not put it in my car. And even if it was unleaded gas, would the ECU detect the high octane and not like it? I think its like $3.50/gallon.

ECU probably cannot handle this gas because it might not be able to retard the timing to get proper combustion. You might lose power because of that. You will need engines with higher compression ratio and higher rpms to use it.
Lead is a big NO.
