110 Octane! Anyone use this?

So I was up in Michigan today to go check out IKEA and I stopped by Sunoco Gas Station and came across 110 Octane! Never seen this in Ohio and I wasn't sure if this is what I see when people say they put E85 mix? anyhow, can you just fill your tank up with this or would I literally blow spark plugs and $hit? $8.99 a gallon! Sorry, just never seen Octane this high before at a gas station before? Normally you would go to a rave shop for this

sunoco is one of the few stations that sell race fuel at the pump in our region. some Speedway stations so also.

Never used it but thought it was interesting to see. Anyone know what 110 octane would do to our motors?

I found this blurb here:

http://www.badasscars.com/index.cfm/...rod/prd427.htm


Race gas is for race cars, period! Street cars usually have static compression ratios of between 8:1 and upwards of 11:1, and usually in the 9:1 and 10:1 area on most performance "street" engines. The problem running race gas is that if you don't have the compression to compress the fuel and air enough, you'll actually run SLOWER! I see this happen all of the time at the race track where during the Wednesday night drags, people with bone stock cars will go fuel-up with 110 or 114 octane race gas and wonder why they aren't running as quick, or as fast, as usual.
