Octane question
We have a gas station that sells 100 octane in Scottsdale, AZ. We have run race gas in 2 stroke dirt bikes with amazing results, so I think it would be the same for our Rovers. I would think the computer would adjust timing to account for the slower burn. I would run this 50/50 with 91 if it wasn't so far out of my way.

Here in Ontario Canada we have 87,89,91,94
87 is $1.20 a litre 91 is at $1.35 a litre
if this was my primary everyday to work vehicle I would not a chance own a disco
I have a work van so I’m ok
one of the reasons I want to inport a diesel from somewhere where they drive on the left hand
diesel is $1.14 a litre and I’m guessing you can go up to 800 km on a tank
now that’s a deal

redwhitekat you lucky dog, here just outside of Vancouver it is 1.35 for regular, 91 is pushing 1.50, filling the beast up is a painful experience. At least I work from home and we have the wife's little Ford for everyday stuff.

here it’s still cold wet snow and no trails in these flat land for about 4 hour drive
The performance difference in 93 non-ethanol can be found in tuned high performance engines. On our trucks, you will see no impact between 91 and 93 IMO.
Also, I am conflicted or rather weary of using 7-11 gas regardless of grade. The lack of detergents is what concerns me but, maybe being non-ethanol it is a moot point.

I’m actually more worried about other station’s fuel. With so many “real gas” stations around, it often makes me wonder if some don’t cheat. That why I stick to one or two stations for my regular fill ups.
Im not worried about power/performance gains out of the Disco 2s. I just want efficiency and compliance to what they were meant to run. Sounds like it won’t hurt to try it.

I’m right in the middle.
I run non ethanol in my 2000 w/ 160k. If I can’t make it to the one station with non ethanol I lose at least 1.5-2 MPG. I keep a log and it never fails when I have to use 10% ethanol gas, MPG drops. Just my experience .
i don't know if you will see or feel a difference using the non-ethanol 93 octane fuel, but that is what these engines were made to run on. it's only a two point difference from what you have been using.
that being said, i would love to be able to find ethanol free 93 octane fuel in Saint Louis.

yeah. we have some land down by Annapolis around 49 and F.
usually down there quite a bit in spring and summer.
Oh nice! I'm down the road right by K bridge by about 5 miles. Lots of trails out this way and especially on your side of the river down BB Highway. Although looking to sell our house and 17+/- acres.
