If there is, please let me know. I will be driving Street of willow this Saturday and BW on Sunday. Never try using 110 leaded so gave a thought about try them, but if there are significant problems, please let me know. Thanks

catalytic converters, if any, will clog, and fast.

is there a reason you need 110?

Thanks for info. There is 10 galon of 110 leaded gas left in the garage, so thought about use them up. The car does not have cat. If that is the only side effect, I was worried about decreasing power or knocking, I may use them up.

Yes, leaded gas will soon eat your O2 sensor rendering it useless.

also, I've seen high octane leaded gas turn into a gooey mess after being stored too long. If it's been in a dark container and away from the sunlight for a while it might be ok, but if it's in a clear/opaque gas jug and has seen some sunlight use it to start a nice campfire or something. Don't risk it clogging up your fuel system.
