Is everyone that is having problems with power running 93 octane fuel? I also wonder about the test cars in magazines and what they use for fuel compared to fuel we can buy at the local Mobil or Texaco Station that has 10% ethanol.....my crude understanding of ethanol is that it reduces the total energy capacity of gasoline by diluting it....most people would never know of the power loss because they never come close to using the full amount of power an engine can produce, but for time runs it might be a problem.
