I have about 500 hours running 91 octane with no alcohol in my 150hp low compression 0320. I can burn nearly 1 gph less if I run 100LL and get the same performance but that does not justify the price difference. I put a little mmo in every tankful.

I used 4 oz MMO per 20 gal of 91 octane gas - then Ootah seccumbed to the federal mandate of 10% effemall in the mogas and I gave it the screeching halt. Do you have ethanol in your mogas out there in the land of fruits and thorps?
