Default Depends on the brand.
Some say that if you run too many times with the VP race fuel it will end up eating at the rubber parts in the gas tank and gas lines.

Default I have not had a problem with the 100 octane from 76. Either has anyone
I know. If your going to use 100 octane then 76 is the right choice.

Default Just make sure it is unleaded
Here we can get pump race fuel which is leaded or unleaded

I run VP C12 fuel which is 108
