Yeah, I would mix a gallon or two (93 oct) at every fill up in the summer to help keep the engine temps down. I did like the smell too lol

I actually took a second look a couple days ago and the 110 oct is leaded, but it won't anything but your cat and o2 sensors. I'm catless so the only thing I have to worry about is my wideband an o2 sensors.

I could be wrong but I think mixing leaded and unleaded is not a good thing. Also leaded is bad for the 02 sensors, not just the cat

Racetrack around here has Cam2. It is 100 octane, unleaded, and non-oxygenated. It is safe to mix with regular gas, and I routinely do this.

I am catless so no need to worry about it. Can you explain to me why is would be a bad thing to do? Not so worried about o2 sensors, they don't cost that much.

What about mixing their 110 leaded race gas with 93 unleaded, any negative side affects from this?

You should ONLY be mixing unleaded, non-oxygenated fuel with regular gas. You can expect negative side-effects with any other combination.

In case anyone wants to order this stuff, it is C10 from VP-Racing. That is safe to run with or without normal pump gas in the tank.

Okay what are some negative side effects? I have mixed 93 oct with leaded 110 and it didn't do anything to my car. I did however on mix in 2 gallons on top of 7-8 gallons of 93.
