What company made it? I didn't think that they made 110 unleaded...it is probably worth checking out the company's website to make sure that you don't f#ck up your o2s.

In my town they have a place that has unleaded 110 octane locked up in the back. If you know it's there and ask for it they will gladly give it to you.

vp103 is the highest unleaded gas made with a 103 octane rating. Anything higher than that is leaded.

I use to live in Minneapolis and there was a auto parts store and gas station my freind worked at that sold 118 octane. I even talked to his manager and he said it was unleaded and work just fine in my car. It was selling for I think $5.25 a gallon. They had it in special tanks in the back.

You can get up to about 112 octane unleaded. After that it is unleaded. It just is alot easier to get higher octane fuels that are leaded. Good score on the price <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

76 does NOT sell 110 unleaded. It is leaded, no matter what your local station tells you.

The proof is in the pudding:

Cut and pasting I think may be in order
