USA gas at pumps this summer..

Anyone going larger jets due to the gas this summer?I had to redo my mains and pilots on my 2001 Bonne to get some color on the plugs besides white.Glad I just checked the plug color!What could result from that lean besides a hot running motor?

you cant tell how the mix is anymore by reading plugs with the gas we have these days.get a air /fuel gauge or put it on a dyno thats the only right way to do it.You might think your lean because the gas dont make plugs change color like the old gas did.
