I don't think so on today's pump gas, in the old days, increased
lead for sure, and probably many of the additives would cause grater
pollution.

No, but there just doesn't seem to be a market for Sunoco 260
or SuperShell 120 any more. It may be because nobody is
running Kieth Black Ram/Hemi's on the street any more and
the fuel management systems on modern cars can handle up
to about 12:1 with the current brew.
There *may* be some technical issue with that high of an octane
and the Kalifornia air resources board, but don't know of any.

It's easier to increase octane by adding lead, so we don't see any really
high octane unleaded gasolines... Here in Houston, we have some stations
that sell 91 octane whereas others sell 93 octane... I don't know of any of
the production cars that need more than 91 octane although there might be a
couple that do... If you need more than 93 octane, your choices are one of
the octane booster formulations in a bottle that you can buy at the auto
parts stores or if 100 octane is acceptable, you can buy it from your local
airport... It's called 100LL (Low Lead), but in reality, it should be Lotta
Lead since it had more lead in it that the old 80 octane leaded avgas... The
really nice thing about 100LL is that if you get it on something, it
evaporates and doesn't leave a gasoline smell to it... You'll pay anywhere
from $2.00 to $3.50 per gallon for 100LL, depending upon the airport that
you get it from...
