High test gasoline for smoother idling ...

[pecheux]

From experiences ... would using 89 or 91 octane rated gasoline with an OB have anything to do with having smoother and/or slower idling ??

Your engine is designed to run perfectly on 87 octane fuel. It does no good to run higher octane and in fact additives in higher octane fuel can be bad for an outboard.
