I've always heard ethanol pump gas is not good for two-strokes, maybe 110 is different. I run non-ethanol always not even the up to 10% premium. It's always been non-ethanol 92 slightly more than regular premium with some ethanol but only like a dollar more per gallon.
Ethanol is not good for even the new bikes. Thats why there are alot of stations starting to have 1 pump for non ethanol (at least in oregon) and in washington I have seen alot of stations that have signs that say "no ethanol in our gas". Even a higher octane is still not good for quads, weed eaters, lawn mowers ect.. I dont know if they won or not but there was a bunch of boat owners who were trying to sue the feds for destroying there boat tanks and motors.
It wont destroy it right away it takes some years. The ethanol fuel likes to eat the gaskets in the carb and pit it also. For the long life of your machines I would not recomend it. Also I would not let ethanol fuel sit for very long as it loves to collect mosture
yeah having 10% added isnt the same as e85.I know e85 has some water in it from when its made.I believe its better for a engine as it runs cooler but is like alcohol as it eats gaskets.
