    I have a 2008 430 Scuderia. All of our local gas stations mix 10% ethanol with all grades of gas.

    Can I safely use 101 octane unleaded gas in my car?

    Thanks,

    She will run beautifully. Just make sure it is UN-Leaded.

    10% ethanol won't hurt anything. From what I see it's more BS marketing than anything.

    Ethanol isn't about marketing. It's about govt. policy (production of ethanol) and emmisions (EPA mandating use of an oxygenate).

    lead actually helps lubricates valves and runs nicely in ferrari engines. The only downside is it clogs cats and 02 sensors
