Marina Gas. Why. . . . . . .
Why is it that marinas will not / do not offer 87 Octane gasoline?
The engine manufacturers recommend 87 Octane.
That grade of gas would also lower the price a few cents too.
But every marina I've ever been to, only has either 89 or 92 octane gas.
Any ideas???????

i think its because its a better comprimise for most people.....yea you may be able to run the 87 in your brand new EFI engine....but what about the poor guy who has the 1985 carb engine....and plus its 95+ outside......85% humidity....and hasnt had the engine tuned up since day one cause he's never had a problem with it before!!! 87 octane may be recomended by the engine builder but thats not to say it will run best on it.
Just my thoughts...

I thought the tax refund worked for IL, but I was wrong. They declined my paper work. Apparently pleasure boating doesn't count. So what roads am I using with the boat that the 'boat' gas tax is paying for.
