I have a 1975 914 2.0, should I be using ethanol free gas? It appears to have the orginal metal gas tank.

Related question: The ethanol-free gas up here is only available in 94 octane. How should the higher octane affect my timing setting - should it be more advanced than the standard 27º BTDC?

I wouldn't totally trust this because it could change any time they full their tanks but... http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=BC |
