What fuel do you run in your cars ?

My Mustang is supercharged and dyno tuned to run on 94. I use Sunoco/Petro Canada 94 (Husky is under the same umbrella), and add stabil as recommended on the label. Personally, I have never had a problem doing this. I just force myself to take it easy for the first tank (ok, maybe 1/2 a tank, then top up with fresh stuff) in the spring. It is true that ethanol blended fuels will break down considerably faster than straight gas. If your car is not specifically tuned for 94, I would no doubt store it with Shell V Power 91. In this area, it contains no ethanol, and is the only place I have found that specifically says so. Check the pumps in your area to be sure.
