No BP...Although there are plenty of places to get 93 Octane back in NY where I grew up, everything out here in AZ that I've seen has been maxed at 91.

I'm neither a chemist or a mechanic, but my understanding from the earlier posts is that the E100 is 100% ethanol and not 100 octane. 2gal of 100 octane with 10gal of 91 would level out to 92.5 judge for yourself if its necessary...Putting 100% ethanol into an engine not built for it is just wrong for too many reasons to list.

I think I'm up to speed now, but feel free to correct me if Im wrong.
