hey,<br /> I was just wondering if there is an advantage to use super over regular gasoline? Would a force outboard run hotter with a higher octane?

Howdy,<br /><br />Welcome to iboats. :) <br /><br />No advantage at all, Jamie. <br /><br />Contrary to popular opinion, "premium" gas is called premium because it is more expensive. It is NOT higher quality than regular, it is just more tolerant of high compression ratios, higher than you will find in any stock 2 stroke.<br /><br />This is a Non-repair question so I am moving it to Outboard Non-repair Discussions.
