    Sunoco 93 period.

    Shell if you can find it.

    "Off brand" ethanol gas can be questional at times.

    Thanks fellas. Seems most of the non ethanol stations in this area of south Fla are 90. I have run it on it and it runs well, but I was concerned some that the level really wasn't high enough. I'll go back to 93 at Sunoco, plus they have cash back, so it's all good. I will pay what it takes and I am glad it's not a Suburban.

    Do what I do.....fill it up with one or the other and then when it gets to about half full, fill it with the other one.
