It Burns!!!

Well, I put 110 octane leaded gas (yes leaded) in today. It was my first time using leaded, and all I can say is, MY EYES, THEY BURN!!! Yea, so apperently it hurts. We'll see how it runs with it tonight. If I like it, I'll use it this sat night as well. I refilled my bottle for tonight Yes, I know the leaded gas will kill my o2 sensor, but if I cared, I wouldnt have bothered. And on top of that, it should be pretty toasted by now since I dont have a cat to begin with anyways.

I think leaded gas may kill your $1100 catalytic convertor as well . Be careful with that stuff.

LoL...I don't have a cat anymore, I took it out and bashed it to nothing on the inside. It's called "hallowing" out your cat.

100 octane unleaded at the gas station runs for $5.49/gallon. I got the 110 octane, leaded, for $5.00/gallon. But they hooked me up with a free gallon, so I got 6 gallons for only 25 bucks. Sweet deal....

isnt leaded gas illegal now. or so i thought. 87 is only 2.11 here BTW. but i live in a town that if you tell somebody you did something, half the town knows and the other half doesnt give a shit about who you even are. also i find myself having to ask my G/F's who their mom and dads are so i can make sure we are not related somehow. but we have 115 racing fuel at the pumps like at them spinx stores for like 2.40-2.60/pg. or what you could do is put some octane booster in premium 107 get about the same result for WAY less money.

Yeah, I didn't know they still made leaded gas, and it can't be good for your engine.

So what happens if you run out of people to marry? Marry your cousins?
