Ok, I know that this has been tossed around in the past, but I'm putting a little bit differnt twist to it. If you have the option what do you do?
Option 1: is fill your tank with 89 octane with 10% ethanol
Option 2: is fill your tank with 87 octane/no ethanol.
The reason I pose this question is, we have a gas station in the area that sells only 87 octane gas but does not have ethanol in it. All the other stations put 10% in theirs. I for one did fill my boat with the 87 octane/ethanol free gas on the last fill up.
Just putting this out for a little discussion since 89 is the recommended octane.
