yep at least 110 especially on a 2 stroke. make sure you mix it with a good 2 stroke oil.

umm i would say probably once you get up around 190-200 you should be running race gas. try running the VP U2 race gas.

i run Av gas in my R my bro runs it in his R and he ran it in his banshee befor that. the builder of the banshee engine actually recogmended it. i have heard peopel say av gas is no good for on ereason or another, but i have had no complaints. i only have around 190psi though and i dont know how high to go on av gas. its rated at 100 octane, but the octane rating for av gas is measured differently than, the other stuff. av gas has a rich octane rating of around 120. i say give it a shot and if it doesnt have any issues your good. its deffinatly the way to go, last time i bought it it wasnt any more expencive that the cheap pump gas.
