112 octane is most likely leaded fuel. Might slow down the O2 sensors, although they can take the lead for a while before they go bad. Other than that, high octane fuel, even if you don't need it, shouldn't cause it to run rough. The only problem from using higher octane fuel than you really need is a light weight wallet.

My 381 is tuned to run on 94-octane when I'm not spraying. We put C16 (117 R+M/2) in and baselined it without the nitrous, and it picked up 6HP - probably from the higher specific energy content of that fuel. Didn't run any worse.
