You should not use E30 without rejetting, you will be too lean.

Ethanol is BAD for anything that isn't tuned or designed to run on it. SEMA has been fighting E15 for all vehicles built before 2009 or 2010.

Even though E30 and E10 is cheaper, calculate your cost per mile driven. Typically it's cheaper per mile to use no ethanol than to fill up w/ E10, even though the price per gallon is cheaper.

Take the cost of a gallon of gas and divide by your actual MPG.

I have to 2nd Oxy if you can find it.

You could probably find it on the Internet somewhere. Ive found websites that list the stations.

I'm lucky enough to have a sinclair station that sells 93 n/o a block away from where I work. Half a mile down the road the airport sells 110 oct
