Default Non Ethanol Fuel offered in Florida for r/o

I just noticed that a gas staion by my home in Florida is now offering 90 octane non-ethanol fuel for recreational vehicles? Has anyone tried this? Is it ok to run 90 octane in a 2010 FLHTCU 96" NonCat, Woods 6-6, PC-V, Jackpots?

It would be better than 92 octane with 10% ethanol . probably get better fuel economy too.

Are there any legal considerations to this recreational gasoline, like running off-road deisel in your truck.

No, it would be better to run the higher-octane fuel in your engine as your engine is designed to use at least 91-octane fuel. You may get better gas mileage running the 90-octane blend because there is less EtOH in it, but it has a lower octane rating than what your engine is optimized to run on without detonation damage due to running octane levels below 91.

I know when I road thru Georgia they didn't have ethanol in the fuel and I got 5 miles to the gallon better mileage. Where are you finding the gas?

I think the term recreational vehicles refers to vehicles used for recreation, not motor homes. Thats the way it is in Minnesota anyway.

I live in metro Atlanta and I don't know of any gas stations that don't have an ethanol mix. I wish I could find one that didn't!!

You can lookup stations that carry gas without fillers here:
