Here in hickville, I can only get 91 octane fuel unless I go to my nearby "Clinton Grassways" airport to get 100 fuel. I know it's ok to mix, but is it OK to run on straight 100 in my '90 Esprit?
Thanks,
Ryan

If your going to the airport to get 100 octane, chances are its 100LL (low lead). Not sure that it wont damage your engine.

Hi octane aviation fuel has a habit of catching cataletic converters on fire. Melty, melty. I would be careful

I've used 100LL for years... in my motocross bike, as it required 2-stroke lube as a mix. As there is some lead content it's bad for cats. I would not recommend it in your Esprit. Stop by your local Chevron dealer and fill up with Supreme (93 octane).
