Regular unleaded, 87 Octane, I have not seen anything else saying you had to run higher...I have the AR335, may have to run higher on the 400 depending on compression.

we run regular unleaded @ about 87... same in all of the cars... no issues, cost too much to run the higher stuff!

91 in the 400.

There are a couple (out of ~20) Marinas that I know off on my lake that carry the 100% good stuff. Ethanol is a big issue here with the bass boats and antiques for different reasons, but there seems to be a high consciousnesses about the issues around here. I luck that it also happens to the closest fuel on the water and happily pay just under $4/gal for it. Maybe a little cheaper elsewhere on the lake. VA residents also get $.17/gal rebate. :-)

Even some of the ethanol marinas have a 'special' marine blend that is basically including an additive like this: http://mystarbrite.com/startron/ One in particular marina here with this also has 24 hour pay at the pump and I have to make use of this occasionally - no discernible difference in performance. YMMV

You can't get it around houston area, closest is san antonio, or waco, try this web site buyrealgas.com

Keep Looking - There are 2 marina and one gas station I am aware of in my immediate vicinity that are not on that map...

I got the standard motor, and I thought I read that 89 octane was the recommended octane for that motor? So I can run 87 octane with 10% ethanol?
