Why not use Stabil?

What is the advantage of using 93 octane gas?

No advantage to use 93 in a motor that is designed for 87.

i spoke to Merc about this... he said yes the motor will run on 87, that is the min, but it will run better on 91+, i then asked if racing fuel would be better he said no, keep it 91, 93 or 94 if available in your area so the computer is not compensating for knock with the low octane and robbing power, he said the computer also learns your habits and throttle usage for the "eco" feature, so he said to run it hard frequently to keep it suppling more fuel for WOT, because if your normally a conservative driver it will hold back on letting go of the juice and rob you of some power...

I run Seafoam but just started using it, I also put some Stabil in it as well. Has anyone ever tried Marvel Mystery Oil in there 4 stroke outboard? I keep a bottle of it and give everything around my place; but my boat, a dose of it. My dad swore by it.
