as long as the gas is unleaded you can run pretty much whatever you want...although you may not have desired results.

However from my experience octane ratings this high normally contain lead content. Around here (Chi-town region) i can get 110 but it is leaded and would kill my 02 sensors after 50 or so miles.

You will gain no advantage by running 100, 110, C16, etc, unless you have a drag monster that is properly set up for it

Why would you waste the money buying it when you're bone stock car won't even know what to do with it?? You can paypal me $50 and get the same results. I'll send you a certificate that says your car is now faster to make you feel good.

u can if its unleaded like stated...but that high of octane is usually leaded which means it will eat your cats up for din-din.....110 is the way to go...anything higher is kinda pointless unless its just a track beast....

you know that higher octane fuel actually burns SLOWER right? Uber high octane gas won't help on a bone stock car no matter what anyone tells you.

I'd recommend mixing a little 100oct unleaded into your regular 91/93 octane gas if you are having pinging problems on a dyno or at the track
