Aviation Fuel
I am looking for advice on running aviation fuel full time in my single turbo FD. I am interested in running 18-19lbs on the street. I was told that 100 low lead is actually 110 octane, but is full of lead and will harm the engine with lead deposites. Does anyone have any experience using aviation fuel?

I run 110 octane only above 10 psi, but under 10 psi I run 93 octane. Running 110 all the time is a waste of money. I got my car tuned that way.
It is leaded and it will clog up your o2 sensor and your cats, if you have any.
I wouldn't like running 110 all the time with the gas prices on the rise.

I'm not worried about money, I just want to keep this engine. No cats, and I don't use the o2 sensor, it's unhooked. I am tuning it on leaded gas so the wideband is getting it, but I have a few. And with the gas prices the way they are, 110 is only 50 cents more a gallon. I wouldn't say that's a waste.
