Just make sure it'* actually unleaded. I've had gas stations tell me both stories about the same gas in the past. We have a local station that'* responsible for killing a couple catalytic converters.

I will check it and let you know. Would there be any real benefit to do that?

As Foghorn stated, yes. At the track with a tiny pulley on a hot day.

In this neck of the woods I've never heard of unleaded gasoline with such a high octane rating, they even have up to 114 octane!

On that basis I called the company directly. The gasoline is actually formulated in Canada specifically for racing. I'm not a chemist but Mitch did give me a good explanation and insisted that Pro Racing Fuels gas is lead free and will not damage any emissions sytems or O2 sensors.
