Sure. It's what you get in many states. Been running it for 7 years.

I certainly hope so, since that's what I've been putting in it since I got it (Shell).

it's better than fine. i'm sure 93 with zero ethanol would be great but i actually think the 10%e helps with octane boost. it's too bad there isn't 97 at the pump, at a reasonable price.

we had a gas shortage here after the hurricanes so I ran 100 VP race full for two weeks. even in summer temps it was amazing how the car felt. I still have 10 gallons of MS109 vp race fuel left.
