G'day
The only gas that goes into my Austin-Healey is in the tyres. The
thought of running my Austin-Healey on 91 octane petrol gives me the
willies.
Here in the antipodes we have a choice of 91, 95 and 98 octane. Even
with 98 octane the engine still pings so I always add a combined octane
booster and lubricant.
The worry is that various state governments are legislating the 91
octane fuel must have at least 10% ethanol.

I started using fuel injector/carb cleaner back in the 90's. A local
Honda
dealer in MD recommended it to a friend after they replaced all the fuel
injectors in his Prelude.
Anyway, anyone else noticing the demise of 93 octane gas? Last summer
the
local Shell station switched from 93 to 91 octane high test. Today on my
way
home, I stopped at the Mobil station which sold 93 octane gas, and they
had
a 91 octane sticker pasted over the 93 octane pump. I think Gulf is
the
only one left in my area still selling 93 octane.
