fuel type

I have a bought 60 HP 20 yr old evenrude for a 16 ft old ali hull. It starts well.
I belive the mix is 50:1, is it worth spending more on the higher octane BP ultimate petrol or would the motor prefer normal petrol.

Had a 135V6 blackmax merc that should have run on leaded petrol. When it was no longer available was told will have no probs running it on unleaded. Found that the motor ran rougher and not as smooth. Started running shell optimax and ran perfectly. Although it costs a little more you will prob find it runs smoother and not use as much fuel. Best thing to to is trial and error
