 | Re: Best fuel for 2008 ski doo XP 800's 91 octane... not sure what brand, but don't run Husky... ethanol=not good for engine, less power, worst mileage

| Re: Best fuel for 2008 ski doo XP 800's Any non ethanol polluted premium gas will do. Ethanol has less energy per unit of volume than normal gas.....

| Re: Best fuel for 2008 ski doo XP 800's Just the fact that you are asking, suggests that you are thinking that maybe some race fuel is gonna make your sled perform better. Not so much! If you do not have the compression to require you to use higher than premium octane fuel, then at best, you will be simply wasting money, at worst, your performance will actually suffer from the cooler burning fuel, that may end up puking out of your exhaust in the form of black smoke from incomplete combustion. Sorry if I misread the question.

| Re: Best fuel for 2008 ski doo XP 800's Very high octane fuel could very well make proformance suffer of worse make the engine go boom. Pump in whatever the manual says it meant for, cant go wrong with pump gas, or 91 though.

| Re: Best fuel for 2008 ski doo XP 800's well i dont under stand why you guys say not to run etahnol feuls, if the fuel has 10% or less ethanol it is safte to run in sleds, i have talked to many differnt shops about it, and i have been running husky gas in all my toys, and hasnt hurt any of them yet, and when i ran the gas at the esso i didnt know a differnce accept in price and the husky gas is 94 octane and esso is 91 octane
