Octane question
#11
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 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.

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.
