I own or have owned 7 and have never used anything but regular gas in them.

Re: octane in my svx

My SVXi don't even like the "required" 91 octane, they run better and get much better mileage on 93 and still good when I have to use 92. Almost all local stations here have 93 octane for premium.

Re: octane in my svx

I used to use 97 in mine. Sometimes I would use 95 if I couldnt get 97.

Thank you
I've tried 87 oct, & 89 ethanol blend & 91
87 ran terrible, car surged & shifted weird
89 ran better but got terrible mpg's, like 19=20
91 was fine, 24.5 mpg run good
waiting to try 110 from race car just for fun !!!
let me know how you do
