Default 90 octane "Recreational Use Only"

A gas station in the urban metroplis of Kingwood , WV, about 10 minutes from my work, has 87, 93, and 90 octane labeled "Recreational Use" with no ethanol.

Think i should try it? 10 cents cheaper than 93.

My question is why are you using 93? Do you have a tuner?

I ran two tanks of it and didn't notice any difference so went back to 89. And here in NE FL it's $1.30 more per gallon than 93. You better hope the gov. keeps up with the ethanol subsidies.

This is for ATVs, tractors, etc. If you get caught putting it in a car, truck, etc expect some fines.

Absolutely not true!!! You are correct in that it is mainly for boats, ATVs, PWCs, etc. but there are no fines for using it in anything else. Not in FL anyway, and I can't imagine anywhere else. You are going to have to show me that one in writing and let me know who is going to enforce it.
