C16 is leaded, Yes I BELIEVE you can mix them, but remember leaded gas kills o2's fast

thanks for the input. can anyone back this point about mixing leaded and unleaded. and how would escape kiling my o2 sensors, and will it hurt my preformance if the o2's are burned

-I have used it.
-I have a FAST.
-Fuel manufacturers do not reccomend mixing gases because they have different gravities, but some of us FI guys have been doing it for a while with no apparent ill effects.
-You may want to look into the Denso 02 sensors and see if they are more lead resistant like folks say.

Destroys cats as well. Won't affect your WOT performance much since the computer is not running of them at WOT. Will screw up your idle and cruising though.

5 gal of 110leaded mixed with 5 gal of 93unleaded killed my O2s almost immediately and had my motor running lean as hell. Unfortunately I could not get the densos local so I grabbed some bosch.

Guess I will run 100octane unleaded untill I hear the densos are workin well with the good stuff
