Better Fuel

I've been running ethonal free gas noticed the other day it is only 91 octane is this gas better then 93 octane w/ 10% ethonal? Only place I know of where I live that sells the ethonal free gas but the local gas stations all have the 93 octane w/ ethonal.

You may see a slight loss in MPG. But the 10% ethanol may give you a slight increase in power?

tohper,

Personally I'd go for the higher octane rating instead of trying to get gas with no ethanol.

Bad part about all of this is that the ethanol makers are pushing for 15% ethanol. Seems they couldn't make money even with govt. incentives, so they are pushing for higher limits.


I am all against it, just saying. Unless GM can say they can make a car ethanol friendly, nope, not so much. Just my opinion.
