Reported cause
Pretty cheap gas price considering that more than 40% of the cost is due to taxes.
Leading evidence: 'taxes' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'taxes' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 91 octane' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
Not to say that anything bad is going to happen to your car running 91 octane, but 93 would run better.

I am pretty sure that they do use 110 in their horse.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I can attest to the ECU assertion, mine definitely detuned a bit on California 91 (which I swear is not even close to 91) since I've shipped my car back to NY, I've been able to burn two tanks of 93 and it's back to normal.
I went to fill up my 996 at a local Marathon gas station- located in Marysville, Ohio. I was shocked when I found that I had the usual three octane options a 110 Octane option. Who is putting 110 octane gas in their car? It cost 5.49/gal. I really am starting to think that Marysville is a very strange town. It is a small country town about 15 minutes from the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. Mainly consist of cows and hillbillies. Strange because it also has the countries largest Lamborghini dealership.
Weird town- Cows, Lamborghinis and 110 Octane Fuel.
That is weird.
110 Octane gas is - as far as I know - only available in
leaded
gas, which is not street legal and will also destroy your catalytic converters in about 10 minutes. They might be quoting the "Research Octane" which is a lot higher than the motor octane. I believe the highest (motor) octane unleaded gas available is 104.
If there was a 110 motor octane unleaded gas available I would expect it to decrease the performance of just about any production car (including a Porsche) - you would need astronomically high compression ratios for 110 octane to improve your performance.

I think that it has to be square footage. I would really doubt that they are selling the most. The only thing that this area would have going for it is that is a somewhat central location for the US. It is a pretty large place. I was there a few days ago and they had about 30 lambos. It is pretty common to see Lambos and Ferraris around here but I doubt that it is the largest volume dealer.
When I was there a few days ago, there was an original GT-40. Not a Ford fan but it was quite impressive.
Also, I would never put the 110 Octane fuel in my car. I just thought it was interesting that a regular gas station was selling racing fuel.
there are a number of unleaded 108 and 109 octane fuels which were designed as leaded racing fuel replacements available. Marathon had a formulation, as do a few others. All that I'm aware of are quoting research octane, 109 will generally be 100 - 102 at the motor
i believe the highest volume dealer is Lambo of Orange County, by so far it hurts. They do have two showrooms now from what I heard last I was down in OC
The 100 octane won't hurt your car. You are in the same fuel boat as I am....91 octane is the highest you can get at normal pumps. If you check out the owner's manual or just the inside of your filler flap the car is suppose to be getting a diet of 93 octane. Not to say that anything bad is going to happen to your car running 91 octane, but 93 would run better. Your ECU is pulling timing to make up for the lack of 2 extra octane points. Hence a marginal amount slower. Best bet is to mix about 5 gallons of 100 octane in with your normal 91 octane gas which will give you an effective octane rating of about 93/94. This will halp your ECU to give you all the power your car can turn out. Likley nothing you are going to notice though. The higher octane will help on the hot days also as heat has to do with knock/timing calculations by the ECU. In a nutshell...No you are not going to witness some miraculous happening if you put in 100 octane fuel. Your engine will like you more and your car will be running at it's optimum. Hope that made sense.

But I don't think you should run straight 100 octane at standard timing all the time, or casually mix 100 octane from one brand with 91 from another. I'm not a petrochemical engineer, but in all likelihood neither are you, so be careful making mixing assumptions before confirming the effects of various detergents.
Maybe you should find out, because there are several links with info on Ethanol damaging
certain engine parts (to a certain degree, of course).
I do not know about if the other additives you mention do the same damage.

It's not just race fuels, in many US states, ethanol and other oxygenators are already mixed with premium gas to 10%, ostensibly to save the polar bears I think. In some states there's no choice really. There's a lot of things in retail gasoline that can theoretically and in reality harm your fuel system and engine, none moreso than water, but including the variety of detergents and other additive packages that serve to differentiate the major gasoline brands.
How about in Canada, is there a lot of ethanol blending going on yet?
