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.
