I hope you don’t have pre-ignition problems with it. Most cars are designed for 87/88 octane.

Running non-ethanol is not a bad idea if you can find it. Paying for premium in most passenger cars is a waste of money unless the manufacturer requires it for your engine. The only difference betwen premium and regular is that premium gas has a higher octane rating. The octane rating tells you at what compression ratio the gas will begin to combust. Ergo, higher compression engines require higher octane fuel. Most racing engines run 110 octane race fuel.

There is no non-ethanol gasoline available in my state.

Where do you get it?

It’s hard to find. We used have an old gas station in Killingworth that sold it.

I don’t think they do any more. It was kinda cool to go by on a Saturday morning and see all the 50-60s classic muscle cars lined up to fill-up.

I am envious. It’s a 2 hour drive to ethanol-free gas from here.
