We don't have 93 octane here just 91 so I mix some race gas to get the octane up a little. (10:1 CR) The tech was puzzled as to why some gas was vaporizing out of the carb after shutdown and wanted to try a higher octane hence 5 gallons of 111 octane. It didn't make any difference. I checked after I got home and it still showed some vaporization from the carb.
