<VV> ethanol?

[Steve Oxford]

JR - Yes on ethanol (up to 10%) being a non-issue.  As to octane, the higher the better for a 102, especially if equipped with a pg. /Steve O/'63 conv/110/pg

===============
Ethanol (10%) has pretty much been the standard over the last dozen years or 
so.  Well, in Illinois anyway - a big corn producing state.

On a 102 you may not need the 93.  Others may have comments on that part.
