I'm pretty sure Don would recommend not using the 91 becuase of the long term potential to build up carbon deposits on top of the piston. Your motor does not need the 91 octane. A better course of action would be to make sure all your lines and primer bulb are ethanol complaint, that your VST and pulse pump are clear of debris and that you run Don's "Cocktail" in each and every drop of gas you put in your tank
+1... that's pretty much what I'd say.
