Default No ethanol

I am now able to buy no ethanol gas without having to drive half way across town, so I have been using it in the Z for a few months now..

Went out for supper last night and drove it, let me say it sure likes that gas and the low temperature we in Florida last night..

It seems to get better mileage and runs a lot better..

91....

EDIT:

I am pretty friendly with the owner of that station, he told me while investigating on having the pump and tank put in he found.. He could not sell lower octane if they ran out of the higher from the supplier, but could sell the higher if they ran out of the lower..

And also found out they do run out of the lower a lot of the time, so instead of not being able to sell when they were out, he just buys the higher and sells it, so I could be getting 93 some of the time…
