    If I add 1 gallon of a 110 octane to a full tank of gas would that be OK

    You’d be wasting 10 dollars worth of gas but yea you’d be fine

    edit: make sure it’s not leaded 110. Use only unleaded

    It's, hardly gonna raise your overall octain. If you have excess av gas, might as well use it. It's expensive.

    Why do you need more octane? Are you supercharged?

    110 octane is usually found at racing fuel stations and that stuff is sometimes leaded...if you put leaded gas into your tank you shouldn't drive it and empty it out immediately, it'll damage the sensors and ruin your catalytic converter(s)

    If you need more octane to bump it to a safe level for your supercharged engine, there are legit octane boosters you can buy that will work as advertised. Most of the ones sold in stores are crap. Torco is one brand that is legit.
