Never ever have looked in the manual. Ill get back to you on that lol
Where does it say non oxygenated fuels are preferred? I dont see it....

Must have changed the manual, the older ones definitely had it in there.
I gave the old PTEK manual from 2009 and the year 2000 same thing. So what are we talking pre 2000? Pretty easy to look at that too.
\Hate to be that guy, but i dont want to take part in some kinda ethanol hating echo chamber lol
Not in the manual, but from ski-doo none the less.
What kind of gas does a snowmobile use? - Ski-Doo
For those new owners of Ski-Doo snowmobiles, not sure about what kind of gasoline to use? This informational page is for you.www.ski-doo.com
On the gap cap of each Ski-Doo snowmobile you will find the recommended type of fuel for that specific snowmobile. Generally, you will not damage your sled by using readily-available automotive fuel as long as it is of at least 87-octane and does not contain more than 10% ethanol. Avoid using E-15 or E-85 as they will damage the engine of any recreational vehicle. That said, many high-performance snowmobiles specify the use of 91-octane non-oxygenated fuel for best performance. Generally, the use of oxygenated fuel is not a problem but leaving this fuel in the machine for more than 30 days can create a problem. Make it a practice, try to only use the fuel specified on the fuel cap of the machine, but occasional use of the automotive 87-octane fuel is not going to cause damage, it just reduces performance. As a rule try to use the higher-octane fuel and non-oxygenated (non-ethanol) to meet the requirements on the fuel cap.
kind of interesting it doesn't say NOT TO USE E15 but that it is EPA regulated... HMM....
That’s the new 93?Mixed up 50 mL of Shell premium fuel and 20 mL of water, got out maybe 1.5 mL of extra water (was about 21.5 mL from what I recovered) and about 48.5 mL of fuel. So there was a small amount of "something" in it, but it was nowhere near 10% - probably between 2-2.5% at most, accounting for a small margin of error in measurements and transferring.

No this was the 91 octane since that's what we were discussing here and I didn't know if the 93 is now available at every place now. Anyway, its just food for thought. Yes we know it can contain "up to" 10% at any random times, so if folks are going to worry about it, just run the good stuff for a few cents more.That’s the new 93?
In this video the rep says the 93 contains ethanol and makes it sound as the 91 now contains some ethanol.My thought is that the reason the 91 came out with small amounts of ethanol is that the 91 is a combination of 87 and 93 being mixed at the pump. My math would tell me 2/3 93 and 1/3 87 will give you 91. So perhaps the 93 has no ethanol and the 87 has 8-10%. That would make sense to have come back with 2-3% ethanol in the 91.
Thoughts?

not anymore as of DEc 1-22 it has 10 % just add cup of same injection oil in tank of gas,, been doing that for 30 yrs..my 94 EFI 500 had 21,500 miles on original motor,,so cant be bad idea,,Shell premium contains no ethanol.
Maybe its my imagination but the quailty of gas seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
