1- Huh? You can go to 110, just don't use leaded gasoline.

2- In the spare wheel well.

i dont think you'll feel much of a difference without tuning.. certainly no monster gains

Regular as in 89 octane? Why yes there is a reason. You can actually get 2-3 mpg better with higher octane. Which means the money you spend at the pump on 91 or 93, will save you money in how often you have to stop. Lower octane also means that the fuel has a higher tendancy to cause engine knock. Which is bad.
