Turbo Blue 100 Octane Race Gas
So today, I decided to fill my Miata up with 100 octane race gas to get a very safe baseline for spark tuning/calibrating knock sensor. Here is a link that gets you locations where they sell it:
Overview - Sunoco 260 GT100 Locations
and some product info:
Turbo Blue Racing Gasolines
Be forewarned, the **** is pricey at $6/gal! Also, they use a special pump that's separate from everything else with a stupid short hose (at least at the station I filled at). I almost had to park my driver rear tire on the curb just to reach .

We have 100 here in Charlotte, Its also 6.00 a gallon... I run a mix... say putting in 10 gallons., i run 4 gallons 100 oct... and then 6 of premium. I can for sure tell it runs really well on it, just likes to go bang better. But I'm also worried about the lead crapping out my wb o2 sensor... Unless its unleaded, if someone wants to school me. I think 100 is a great way to get more consistent fuel, also being its not a mixed tube of whatever cheapie gas the guy before pumped before I get premium.
Goodluck

The pump itself should list whether or not the gas is unleaded, or you could always ask the attendant (altho probably a bit more sketch as some of those gas station attendants are clueless).
