Absolutely NOT
91 octane and avoid ethanol additives when possible
MTBE sucks for the earth , Ethanol sucks for our cars- what are you gonna do!
The E86 stuff is actually made for new GM trucks

In the Midlothian, Richmond area almost every single station's gas contains 10%. How badly will that affect our cars. If at all of course.
