[Chrysler300] 110 octane gas

["Carlton Schroeder" <schroe99@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

It just came to my attention that right here in Eagle River, WI I can drive up to a gas pump and load my 300C with leaded, non-ethanol, 110 octane gas; I just have to tell a white lie and say I am using my car for ‘off road purposes’.  It does cost $7-8 per gallon and originates at a Sunoco refinery in PA.  The pump actually says 115 octane but by some government definition / computation method / regulation the supplier says it is designated 110 octane.   

The supplier says most people (local racers) that buy it mix about 1 gallon of the 110 octane gas with 3 gallons of non-ethanol premium which is readily available around here.

I think the higher octane is primarily to prevent pinging in higher compression engines and that hasn’t been a problem for me, but getting the lead-in seems like it would be helpful.  I only drive this 300C 200-300 miles a year.

I would appreciate advice or opinion about how to use this 110 octane gas.

Thanks,

Carlton Schroeder (in very cold and snowy Eagle River, WI - snowmobile capital of the world)
