Since the ethanol is wreaking havoc on small engines, i'm looking to use either 89 from a station that doesn't mix at the pumps, or possibly using an octane booster for 87.
Reason for this line of thinking is because since gas prices are ridiculously high...it's a safe bet the 93 sits in the tanks for quite awhile...I can't imagine the high octane tanks are being topped off nearly as much.
I want to have the best diet for my small engines and while there is a gas station about 40 miles from me that sells 100% gas for a 5 cent premium...that's...zero ethanol but 80 miles round trip is a stretch.
Hard to get away from the ethanol but I want to minimize as much old gas as posible...the 87 is surely flowing at a much faster pace out of the tanks but most of my small engines require 89 or higher.
