I finally asked the 76 station by me what they charge for 110 octane...they said $5.75 per gallon.  So it was like: $2.83 for 89 $2.93 for midgrade $3.03 for 92 $5.75 for 110 I couldn't believe 110 was so expensive. I figured if it was like $3.50 I'd try it...but I wasn't going to pay $70 to fill up.

If I had 110 race fuel around me, I'd have to get atleast one tank at some point in time.

Here's some racing fuel concentrate. This is the stuff to get. Torco Race Fuel It will raise 93 to 104. I don't believe in additives but this is the real deal.

AvGas is 110 octane and contains lead.Lead was used in the old dazes to cool your valves. Today we have better valves with different grind angles than aircraft valves. So "forget about it"  . Buy a higher octane racing fuel for "Race Day". It can come in 5gal cans from fuel distributers in your area. And keep the lead off your valves.
