well since the day i bought it I have been running 87 or 89 ??? with the 10% etho. It sucks after its sat awile and jelled up. Im going to make a switch to 91,93, or theres a gas station with 101, What would be the best for a big 3 raptor.

87 will work fine. The performance of your machine will not change with any higher octane, only the thickness of your wallet. My specs built for 87octane.

If it's gelling up on you, sounds like you need to get out and ride more!!!

87 is fine for a stump pulling Raptor stock motor. 9.5:1, I think. You may see a tiny difference from 87-91, but after that,  Gunz is right. Only change will be a lighter wallet.

I use either 87, or that 89 ethanol mix Iowa garbage. :nod: I see no difference. Mine is bone stock. I put 102 in the old 660 once, no difference, other than exhaust smell. :lol:

87 pinged with mine in this Alabama heat index and humidity- I just ran 93 in mine since that is what I ran in everything else I owned. I ran 87 only once because thats all a buddy had in his jug, the power seemed normal but it did rattle just a tad on full throttle 4th and 5th gear runs.

I think im just going to run 91 or 93 its 10 cents more. As little as i get to ride it will work.

Since you rarely ride, I would think about getting a can of seafoam to mix in our tank. Good stuff.
