Sounds like we have to go mix in 100 Octane fuel from now on, sucks!

Even the 100 octane available to me is 10% ethanol. Sunoco SS100. 5 gallons of that and the rest 91 gets me a 93 mix. But if the 91 is 15% or higher ethanol and the 100 octane is 10%...

Maybe this is the Government’s way of pushing for EV’s.

It certainly feels that way. Higher gas prices. Higher ethanol content so we get worse gas mileage and have to fill up more and it decreases longevity of ICE. In 30 years gas will be $75/gallon and be 50% ethanol lol.

Sunoco 260 GTX is a good choice if you have a local distributor, until of course Porsche packages e-fuel for you.

Same as SS100. They both have 10% ethanol. SS100 is the CARB-legal version of 260.

No ethanol in 260 GTX, been using for years, 2 year shelf life. No experience with SS100.
