Default 100% pURE GASS no ethanol

ETHANOL SHOULD BE FOR DRINKING....

I use pure gas....NO ETHANOL 93 OCTANE There is a big difference in power you will notice right away. Yes it costs more, but to me it is well worth the added "KICK IN THE ***" that it gives, no matter what your are driving. Anyone else on the forum use this?

DO NOT use 87 unless you like engine damage. You'll get pre-detonation out the pooper.
I mistakenly ran 89 for a couple of tanks and it ran like crap.
I also ran a test on my old Celica (11 1/2 to 1 compression) by running "plus" (89 octane). My mileage actually dropped drastically enough that it was cheaper to run 91 or 93.

You could use Avgas (roughly 100 octane) but Jet-A is deisel based and will kill your engine quicker than sucking a dead cat up your intake (that's why we have air filters).
