I will figure something out if that happens here. 95% is a stretch though. I never used ethanol gas between Oklahoma and Florida

I live in Northern Ky. close to Cincinnati, and I have found that with both the TC88 and TC96 that my mileage drops 2-3 mpg if I go from even 89 oct to 91. After initial fillups, I stick with 91 entirely.

93 Octane with NO Ethanol. When I can't get that, I always use either 91 or 93 with Ethanol. Don't really have a choice around where I live.

Just read all the bad news about e-gas. I just pulled out three oz of brown bead muck from my new filter system on the boat. Why a new filter system? e gas.

Use the 89 and a reputable octane booster. Amsoil has a great product out there. Sucks how some states make everyone put ethanol in all grades.
