Ethanol free fuel

[AzBob_imp]

I run 10% ethanol 87 octane (R+M/2 method) all the time. No problems whatsoever.

CIP, I believe Honda specify minimum 91 octane and max 5% ethanol 10% methanol. The general concencus here in OZ is to avoid both ethanol and methanol.

Cheers

86 or higher in the US per manual although I've never seen 86, our pumps are usually 87/89/91/93 Maybe they rate octane different here.

Maybe they rate octane different here.
We do. U.S. uses (R + M) / 2 method. Many parts of the rest of world use just the Ron number, which is the "R" in the aforementioned formula, so it will be a higher number elsewhere in the world.
