I can't think of any place that has ethanol free gas with a higher octane than 90. Would love to get a definitive answer to this question. I have stayed away from ethanol free gas for my snowmobiles because of this "gray" area.

My Honda outboard suggests 91 octane, I contacted Honda marine and they said the 90 octane I could get was fine.
