Who makes the "110 unleaded" you can buy at the track? And is that (R+M)/2 octane?

Neither Sunoco Racing or VP Fuels makes a 110 unleaded for automobile engines. Some people mistake VP-110 for an unleaded fuel, but it contains 4.23 grams of lead per gallon.

Engines make the most HP on the curve of detenation. So over octaning dosen't due any good unless you are just trying to be extra safe or you are going to crank the timing way up. The highest octane we can buy around here is 100 unleaded at the pump.
