Not Ranked
As a private pilot, I can tell you that this is not such a great idea. I had friends who wanted to use it in their motorcycles as they simply saw the number 110 octane and assumed that is would equally corrospond to auto gas. It does not. They are not rated the same. In addition, a 180 hp Lycoming opposing 4 cylinder engine makes that hp at full throttle. Max rpm is 2700, and the plane us usually flown at at least 5000 ft. Aviation engines also have a manual means of continuously adjusting your mixture and using your exhaust gas temp gauge to control the mixture setting. My advise. Use gasoline refined for use in automobiles, not engines that turn low rpm at high altitude. By the way, most naturally aspirated airplanes lose hp and can't attain an altitude much over 14000 ft.
