110 octane? PLEASE. That's not even unleaded I bet. You're killing your engine buddy.

I'm with Kuya... higher octane fuel is actually just harder to ignite...hence why people use water injection as an "octane booster" to prevent detonation.

Putting 91 or 93 in your 4 cylinder engine that was designed to run on 87 will do nothing for you except hurt your wallet.
