    Default Aviation gas for outboard motors

    My only source for non-ethanol gas has dried up...gone to ethanol gas. However, I can get aviation gas that is 130 octane. Is this too high for older (1987) 9.9 hp outboard motors?

    You don't have the necessary compression to use that stuff. Ethanol (E-10) is not as bad as some people would have you believe. We been on it for about 12 years now.
