That's Avgas and it's not legal for street use. Plus, Avgas contains lead, which will destroy your cats. The other problem is that Avgas is designed for piston powered airplane engines that operate in WAY different temperatures, air pressure, and operational ranges.

My advice is - don't use Avgas in your automotive applications. I work for ChevronTexaco in the Global Aviation group and I know the testing that's done for fuels. Use Sunoco's GT-100 Unleaded. It's rated at 100 octane and legal for the street. You can get at the race track.

theres was some place near rail head that had 98 or 100 octane fuel. It didn't look like a normal service station. just a couple pumps in the middle of no where.

Go to Smiley's Racing Products in Balch Springs. Its about a block north of Fastech, on 2017 Peachtree Road. They sell up to 110 octane, also methanol . VIP racegas, no lead I believe.

That was VP Superfuels on 35 just north of 635. When I lived in Big D, I used to get a little on Friday sometimes for the weekend. I would get the 100 octane that was unleaded. It was pretty high even back in the mid-90's - probably be about $4.50 a gallon now as crazy as gas prices are! They sold up to 110 octane back then as well. Yeah, it is too bad to hear that they are gone from there now.
