AVGAS is usually 100 Octane. If your car slowed, it may be that your engine does not require 112 octane. What compression ratio are you running? A higher octane rating means the burn rate of the fuel is slower. A slower burn allows a more time to burn to prevent detonation. If your engine doesn't needing it , you can lose power.
