On the lake a fish I have always been able to get 93 octane ethanol free fuel. Went to gas the boat up this week and was informed that 90 octane is all they have for the foreseeable future. My question should I run some kind of octane booster or bite the Bullet and switch to 93 gas with ethanol. Any help would be appreciated.
2003- Bullet 20XD w/Promax 225X
On my 2002 225X, I run 87 then add Aces Octane Boost at the 1 oz / 6 gallon ratio. Been doing this for many years.
Hydromotive is my Aces source.
I run 93 ethanol all the time. Use Marine Stabil and Lucas Fuel treatment. Good performance and very clean prop

Really need a high-test fuel source for this engine (would absolutely no run ANYTHING below a bare minimum 91 octane, based on your description of what the engine is).
