Hi! I own a 2003 Utopia 185 with the Merc 240 EFI. I have been using premium gas (octane 93 or so) ... but saw some comments elsewhere that I should be using 87 octaine (regular gas) ... the Merc manual says 87 MINIMUM, but no warning not to use higher octane. Any reason NOT to use higher octane (other than $$$)??. Thanks!
Fuel?

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to use 93 or 87 octane in your Doo.... I don't think you will see any difference in performance (provided you are using clean fuels) between these grades. I use 87 octane from BP everytime I fuel.
