so i know its bad to run a lower octane gas in a car than what is supposed to be used in it. like running 87 in my cobra is bad. but is running something of a higher octane than what is supposed to be used bad for the car. like running 93 in my mom's expedition. the reason i ask is because when i am at the track i sometimes have to limit the number of runs i make because i get low on gas. there is no gas station near there so i have to fill up before i make the hour drive over there. but they only have race gas, i think it is 110 octane. maybe they said 100 octane. it would be expensive but it would be worth it to have a way to fill up there. would it be bad for the car and would it run right?

race gas is leaded so after you leave the entire inside of your engine will be coated in led
which means more restriction and worse daily MPG

(the race gas around here is anyhow)

can it be seafoamed out?

code3GT

Race gas is readily available in unleaded.

There shouldn't be a problem running unleaded race gas in your car occassionally.

Why would you want to run race gas, if the car isnt set up to run the higher octane i thought it wouldnt make an difference. Just cost you 5$ a gallon as opposed to 3.50.

my co-worker has a 12.20s civic and he said HRP has only leaded race gas [&:]

he uses their gas

code3GT

HRP has 104 unleaded. That's what I bought there from their pumps at Pinks All Out.

Try $7.00 a gallon...OUCH
