Any small engines I use 93 octane or pure 87 octane.

These engines get good enough gas mileage to not risk the problems in my opinion. I only use ethanol gas in mine when there is no other choice.

I run 87 at times but prefer high test, boring article link below

There's been a couple of discussions here about this...

P1000 - What fuel do y'all run in your P1000?

P1000 - Non Ethanol Fuel

I personally use regular unleaded... 87 octane, no additives. Never had a problem. It's also Honda's recommendation in the manual. My wife's 2008 FJ Cruiser isn't happy with anything less than 90. That is what Toyota recommends.

Regular non-ethanol only 87. I keep a couple of gas cans full so I always have some on hand

 

[txsurfer]

poor me - nothing but ethanol crap around here..

 

[slowandeasy]

it will run on most anything, but i strongly suggest ethanol free. ethanol is a water attractant. so even if your gaskets and orings can handle ethanol, it will still attract water from the air.

 

[CumminsPusher]

I also try hard to run ethanol free, not always possible but ethanol proves to be hard on engines. Someone here mentioned an additive that helps with it.

I have always run 91 octane in my 700-4. We now have pumps around town that have ethanol free 91. I will be using that in the future.

Whatever cheap s*** is at the bp next door. It never stays in long enough to hurt anything.

Ethanol is to be avoided it is a inferior product or the government would not have to mandate it. (and I am a farmer)
So here in north east MO you have to get premium fuel to avoid it I try to run ethanol free in all my small engines, not so much in my cars

 

[moparornocar]

Yeah it's all corn gas up here. Maybe if I went way up to the airport or something, but I don't think a tank if gas ever sits in it more than a week anyway, a little heet in the fuel and it'll be fine.

I only run ethanol in my twin 200hp outboards and they have over 1650 hrs and get run hard offshore so I guess it can't be that bad. I do use Startron adative with every thank though. It's supposed to eliminate the ethanol related issues but who knows it may just be snake oil..lol

 

[RyanOrange3]

90 or above

I have twin 180hp High output Yamaha's in my boat and they run like garbage if I put ethanol in them. Luckily I keep it in the slip most of the time and our Marina only carries pure gas. Funny how some engines don't mind it and others throw a fit!
