What happens if you put 100LL in a car?
There is no benefit AT ALL to use 100 octane fuel in a car that runs at 91 or lower. Not only is there no benefit, you lose power and efficiency. The optimum octane to use for a given engine is the lowest that will run without knocking.
Does AVgas make more power?
The first is that a two stroke motor will run hotter with AVgas. If anything, the opposite is the case. The higher octane of AVgas makes the fuel burn slower and more efficiently. Also the lead in AVgas helps to dissipate heat and acts as a lubricant.
Can you mix avgas with regular gas?
Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.
Can you use avgas in your car?
Avgas still contains lead because a suitable alternative hasn’t been found yet, despite years of testing. Using leaded avgas in a modern car would ruin components such as the catalytic converter. Conversely, Jet-A wouldn’t work in a gas engine.

What is the advantage of petrol injection?
Advantages of Fuel Injection: Cleaner and more efficient combustion. Sharper and quicker throttle response. Better fuel efficiency or mileage. Compared to carburetors, FI systems are maintenance-free and less prone to damages.
Will avgas work in a car?
Using leaded avgas in a modern car would ruin components such as the catalytic converter. Conversely, Jet-A wouldn’t work in a gas engine. It would be like putting diesel fuel in your gas-powered car? it just won’t run.
