I think the main reason for the non-oxygenated gas is because it is supposed to burn cleaner in non-catalyst vehicles(cycles, atv's, small, engines, collector cars)and doesn't break down as fast. I agree that running 110 is a complete waste of time/$ unless your ride is modified(much higher compression than stock) to the point of needing the higher octane. The 10% ethanol shouldn't be a problem. Any newer fuel injected engine is designed to run on it. The problem was the MTBE blended crap. Sea foam occasionally is a great idea and stabilizer is a must if it sits idle for extended periods of time. I think Doctorturbo lucked out because CA has way strict standards and more than likely still adds plenty of stabilzer to their pump gas. His 2 stroke can sit longer because the oil mix for the gas has stabilizer in it. I typically run 87 octane except for the winter because my wheeler sits idle more and haven't had any problems.
