Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll

Plenty of choices here in centeral FLA. I use either Sunoco or Racetrack Hi Test (93) in mine. I do not know what the previous owner used, But I have only used Hi Test.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll

The highest octane rating I can find...around here is usually 93, also I try to
ethanol free which is getting more abundant.
