    Has anyone ran it? No real reason in particular, just curious if any negative effects would happen. Truck is a 2001 3.4 with trd supercharger

    It will have a significant negative effect on your wallet. :thumbsup:

    I have no experience with it personally. I don't think that it would hurt anything, but unless your pinging really bad, or planning to up your boost/change your ignition timing, you won't benefit from it. Basically, its wasted money unless you have tuned your engine to benefit from it.

    Most 110 octane fuel is leaded, so that will ruin your cats and o2 sensors.

    You would need an ecu program that would be just for the 110 octane, and most likely, hardware designed for 110 as well. Its only really turbo engines that can run different programs for different fuels because the variation in boost is easier to control via the ecm. Thats why you will see an evo or sti that makes huge horse power on race gas but can run on 91 or 87 as well.

    Won't do anything for you unless you are running more boost/higher compression than stock. That said it may be leaded...

    Thanks for all the info! I had no idea it may be leaded. Guess I'll put that $10 a gallon into something else lol
