    2015 XS 550 Fuel?

    Looking for some guidance on whether 91 octane non ethanol is sufficient for my new G23. I know that 93 is what is recommended, but just found out that the highest octane option on my home lake ( Keuka Lake in the finger lakes) is non ethanol 91. I bought the 550 because I will be using my boat in Colorado as well. My question is, will the 91 be ok, or will i need to add octane booster etc.

    Thanks in advance for the feedback!!

      I'm in NC and boat down in SC too. The 91 is all I can get on the lake and I haven't had any issues. Runs great

        Thanks for the responses!!! That is comforting to know....did you have any O2 sensor issues that I had read about? Most of those that I read about we're triggered by using 87 I believe.... Can't wait to get it in the water!! Thanks again for the feedback....

          We only have 89 at the marinas here so I always add octane boost to make up the difference. I have put 24 hours on the 2015 G23 550 and zero problems so far.

            Does anybody have any suggestions for octane boost while we're on the subject?

              I bought a case of this for Lake Powell but have yet to try it.
              We only have 89 in our toy tanks on the house boat.

                I learned to slalom ski on Kueka Lake. The world is truly small.

                    Finger Lakes are truly a special place....if you guys ever get back to your old stomping grounds, look me up! Thanks again to all for the octane and booster feedback! I presume that since I have access to the 91 non ethanol I should be fine.
