Sonic:
Mine is modified with 7PSI intercooled boost, so I never run less than 93. I have run in on an 89/93 mix, when/where on the water 93 wasn't available. I just stay out of the boost range. Regarding your motor, even if it's stock, I wouldn't. I recall (don't have mine handy) the factory Merc manual recommends 91/92 octane. Pump gas does vary in quality. I would rather be slightly high on octane on a supercharged motor, than low, anytime. Regards, Steve |

The second is yes, at your own peril. |
