Gas for scooters

Post by 80's vibes »

What if you don't have an ethanol free option? Is 87 octane really that bad with 10% ethanol?

Greetings:

Stock or stock-ish engines should do just fine on 87 octane. Screaming high-compression engines are where you should beware. Fabrizi Flash 7 ran 100 octane low-lead aviation fuel purchased for $5.00 a gallon from the local airstrip.10 years ago. I hate to think what it costs now.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.
