Did you say AV gas as in aviation? No good as from what I have heard Aviation gas is leaded fuel. No good for o2's or cats on cars. Other than that, it will run fine in setups without the above. But like above not needed on stock builds.

Low lead is leaded gas.
My aviation knowledge is limited to none but from a few pieces I've read, I don't think unleaded fuel is used in the U.S. for gasoline powered planes. I hear the octane levels available in unleaded fuels are not enough for high rpm built plane engines. It does appear that the higher octane gasoline's available for purchase are all leaded.

110 is not sold in the usa.
30% use 100 low lead and the rest use 82 unleaded.
In March 2009 Teledyne Continental Motors announced that it has been testing 94UL fuel. This fuel is essentially 100LL with the tetraethyl lead omitted during the production process. The company has indicated that this may be the best solution to the lead problems inherent with 100LL. The 94UL has been shown to meet the avgas specifications, including for vapor pressure.

The use of 110 gas can also cause carbon build up due to the slow burning in stock motors, high comp and race builds are a whole differnt story. I too love the smell of race fuel, nothing like it

Big Joes Toluene mix is badass Bob. I have no ping now.
The stuff costs me $8.89 a gallon. so 4 gallons fuel at $2.60 a gallon plus a $9.00 gallon of Toluene makes for a $20.00 tank of badass gas.

It appears low compression aircraft engines are approved for 82 use under AV specifications only.

110 not sold in the US... I guess not from a pump but you can buy it. I guess you mean 110 UL?
