If it's leaded 110, and I haven't yet heard of unleaded 110, then it's illegal to pump it straight into the vehicle.
Mr. Birdie, read the tutorial, man. This is all simple, basic stuff that you can find right above this forum in the EcuFlash forum. The white plug goes in the white receptacle next to the OBD-II port.
Yes, straight 100 on a daily basis would be safer than 91 + alky.

Could I with the mods in my sig, and after I get tuned from Buschur on 93octane, run 104 octane and turn the boost up to say 25? without causing any problems?

A gas station very close to me has a pump that simply says "race gas". It's a Phillips 66, and as of this week it was priced at 4.99/gal (Chicagoland). I'd be very interested in tuning my car for race gas, as price of gas is no concern for me (evo is not my DD), and I want to make some more power. Anyone know if this is leaded or unleaded, and what octane rating? I wouldn't be opposed to running mixes.

Yeah I figured I would get a response like that. When I drove by, I was in a terrible hurry and didn't have time to do so. I was just wondering if anyone knew based on the franchise and price. I'm in no hurry, my car is bone stock so I don't exactly want to double the price of my gas for no real good reason. I'll check next time I'm over there. Thanks

evoIX15, I just can't fathom how you would not know to always use the highest octane possible. That BLOWS my mind...

I know there is a difference and if you want ill take a picture of my pumping it in my car. lol not trying to be a jerk but ive been pumping it directly into my car(s) there for long time now along with many others and havent ever heard anything about it. Some of the older guys in the area told me they used to have to do that but that they changed it something heck i dont know. but thanks for the info.
Ah, you're confused, because not all race gas is the same. There is unleaded race gas, which is just a higher octane version of what you get at the pump, and there is leaded race gas, which is much different. The unleaded octanes are usually seen as 98/100/104 while leaded is usually 110/112/116. Race gas doesn't hurt injectors, but the leaded race gas does eventually foul out the o2 sensor and destroys the cat if you have one. Unleaded gas doesn't harm anything and has no disadvantage.
It's unlikely to find 110 "at the pump," because it's illegal for street use, so they usually make you pump it into a container in order to buy it. If they let you pump leaded race gas into the car, then they would get shutdown by the fire marshal.
