<div><p class="m_443308317733278991io-ox-signature">(Dormant) private/commercial pilot here. 110 octane hasn't been available since before I started flying almost 30 years ago (too much TEL). Best you can get is 100LL ('LL' stands for low lead, which is a misnomer because I believe it's only maybe 30% less TEL than 110).
