no. do not add anything. best thing to do? mix the gas & oil ratio @ 25-1. And- go tru the yellow pages in the phone book-- look for bulk plants for gasoline. There, you will find gasoline that has no ethanol in it. Also, there is no need to run high octane race gas in a factory stock engine. It burns too slow. I run 110 octane in a cy-f270. But- the motor has been set up for it.- really high compression. Its in a xb chassis. once the engine is primed up with fuel, i can pick the car up by the starter, and the engine will not hardly turn over!-- This is a great cheap way to make a light xb really kick butt. ---

you will actually lose high rpm power using 100 octane gas in a factory stock engine. It burns too cold & slow.-- same with avation gas. In Florida, just go to a marina and buy regular pure gas- non ethanol gas.--

Go to Lowe's, buy Trufuel. It's 92 octane fuel, and it contains no ethanol. Incredible shelf life. Just add castor 927 oil, mix, and have fun!
