Two suppliers in my town have recently started selling 90 octane ethanol-free gasoline. Its something I've looked for for a long time for use in my two stroke mix for string trimmers, chain saws, leaf blowers, etc. Until now it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Maybe people run 100LL aviation fuel here in their dirt bikes bit I heard it can run too hot.
Anyway, curious if there are any benefits as far as running in our frontiers? I've always thought of ethanol as a long term gumming agent in carborated engines. But are there negative effects on FI engines?
87 octane sells for $2.39 here while the 90 octane ethanol free gas sells for $2.99 (25% premium)
Anyone run it? Any noticeable effects?
