It shouldn't do anything to your plugs or mess up you car, It will however **** your cats up. I does mess a little with 02's but thats after prolonged use. I ran for about three months straight on my race tune and it didn't hurt anything.
hmm, i dont have cats and i bought it at irwindal i meant to get 100 octane but hit 110. i dont know if it was leaded or not i should check my plugs,what should my gap be?

It's probably your o2's. I added 2 gallons of VP110 (leaded) to my tank 3/4 full tank and by the 1/2 tank mark the SES light was on with a code for the o2's. The leded gas screwed them up in no time!
I think the highest unleaded gas that you can buy is 109 but I may be wrong. It sounds like your o2's may be bad now. Can you check the place where you purchased the gas to see if the 110 gas was leaded or not.

First of all, 110 is unleaded. 112 and up is leaded, so it shouldnt affect your cats but it will burna little hotter and the o2's may not like it if the cars not tuned for it. If you run that octane on most cars you wont even feel a difference since the car doesnt need that much octane. Too much octane can make you lose a little power actually. Fill the car up with 91 and see how it acts. You should be alright. My compresion is 11.2:1 and I only boost up the octane in hotter weather to avoid detonation so you really shouldnt need it. If you want a little more of an octane boost I suggest some NOS Octane Booster (race formula). It works pretty good if all you need is a jump from 91 to around 93-94. trust me, even just 93 octane is a big difference.

and second, if you knew what you were talking about, higher octane burns slower and COOLER than Low octane, thus higher cylinder pressures can be achieved without detonation.
