What octane gas to use

[Snowcon1]

So I have a 1995 square nose Superjet with just a b pipe and a impeller and the guy I bought it from said he was running premium gas through it should I just keep running premium or is it ok if I run 87?

Premium

You live in Michigan! some of the cheapest gas in the US. Spend the extra 15 cents and run premium.. lol

Fyi: On the west side of MI, it’s currently about $1.99/gal for regular, and $2.60/gal for premium. 90 octane ethanol free is about $2.70/gal. Thanks, gasbuddy!

So, 10 gal is $20 vs $26 or $27.

Get the ethanol free for $2.70

$1.99, $1.99, $1.99 !!! But, alas, the freedom hating idiots are in charge here, and will ruin life soon enough if people don’t snap out of it.

I would bet it would run the same on 87 octane. Stock superjets love it

Have either of you ran what your recommending ?

His ski is not stock and he just bought it. The ski may have other mods he is not aware of that previous owners did and got lost along the way..

That’s what happened to me... I ran 87 octane in a non stock super jet I just bought, ran great and took the top of the piston off.....

Also other riders, Theirs always a freind that wants to try your ski, once out there, they always seem to hold it pinned to see how fast it will go........

91 is my minimum now lol

Every 701 I've torn apart has had some detonation at some point.

I had an 08 superjet that I bought new in AZ but used in salt water in Socal and rode a few days a week. It was stock (motor) except for a pipe and jetting and a modded stock cdi. When gas was near 5$ a gallon I ran 87octane and Wal-mart supertech 40/1 and continued running it till I wore it out after like 5 years. Honest. it still ran.I tore it down rebuilt and sold it to a friend and upgraded to a Superfreak. I would regularly change the spark plugs and gap them tight and it ran and ran.To be on the safe side 91 is a better choice but I just couldnt help but to chime in on my experience.
