    yes, but you will have to change your entire fuel system AND ecu. its higher octane and more resistant to knock AND its partly made by natural substances (if you care about this planet of ours), but its sold in only certain gas stations (if any) and you have to change the entire fuel system.


    kinda sums it up

    you can mix them together, depending on the mixture it may vary from 100 octane to 116.. give or take lower or higher
