I've been using Shell 93 octane and hoping it will not rust my gas tank. I live in Northern Kentucky and we are having a cold winter so far. As a result, my Crossfire is sitting outside, under a cover, in the cold. Unfortunately, I do not have a garage. That's why I'm seeking all the information on fuels that I can gather to protect the engine as well as the gas tank.
Thanks again for the information. If there is more, please feel free to enlighten me, and probably others as well.

The gas tank is aluminum as I recall so it will not rust.
I would hazard a guess that you would not be able to tell the difference between 93 octane with ethanol and 91 octane without ethanol. That would solve the moisture problem if any existed.
Look for stations that sell real gas, you might pay more but what the heck.
