putting 110 in an engine not tuned for it will build up carbon deposits and foul out plugs pretty bad because of how it burns. Just run regular unless you are tuned for otherwise!

in regards to this question. I have owned my car nearly two years in Denmark were the lowest octain available is 92. I have only driven 900 miles. Should I have any concern?

I have been always skeptical about putting 87 octane in my car, i always put 93 premium, i have this image that my car is going to start falling apart after i put that gas, one person i know said they had to replace there fuel pump because of using 87.. i dont know..[&:]

was probably bad fuel or a case of bad timing. Just so happens it failed when he switched, and it would have failed with or without the switch
running 92 is not gonna hurt you if that's all you have. It's not that much more radical than regular... the thing is running 110 (race gas) on a car not for it could pose probs

if im not mistaken leaded gas isnt bad for your engine its bad for your catylitic converters and the enviroment which is why they stopped using it...think you can find this info on www.howthingswork.com or something

Big waste of time and money! Stick with pump gas. Do not need any kind of premium unless your engine has been specifically tuned for it. Cobras, yes. GT's, no. Modified GT's, maybe.

If you have a stock Gt you don't even need 92 octane. 110 would be the largest watse of money you could probably think of. It will do nothing at all for performance.

Yup, thats correct.
And 110 is usualy "low lead".. its what we use in the single engine's here.. Infact leaded gas is cheaper and easier to make.. not nearly the amount of additives and so forth go into it.
