What Type Of Gas Do Ya'll Use?

[Firetipped]

I usually use ethanol free gas or plus if I have to. what do ya'll use? Also do ya'll use gas treatment?

 

[RoninK6]

I used to use ethanol (plus) because it was cheaper and my bike's manual said I could... but I'll be switching over to premium here this summer 'cause gas prices are lower . Even though ethanol is made here in Nebraska, it kins'a stinks ~.....

 

[CaturLifeLive]

I use Pertamax Plus ( octane 95 ) , because it's already meet the standards of performance International World Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) , without timbal so it will be very good for the engine, and etc

 

[GixxersShadow]

I use jet fuel

 

[Carmo]

I keep it simple and switch between 95 and 98 octane every fill up. I haven't read if my bike can handle any ethanol blends so I don't go near it.

My bike manual says minimum 95 octane but I always use 98 or 100 octane.

I'm normally on the Shell Fuelsave (95RON), but as it's been sat a while, I topped it with Shell V-Power (99RON) to offset it been sat a couple of months

 

[Lurch]

I used the Shell expensive stuff as the filling station had run out of 95, shame the bike stood for 2 months with that fuel in the tank so I never saw the benefit... Ho hum!

My bike manual says minimum 95 octane but I always use 98 or 100 octane.

100 ??! Is there such a thing ???

@o@ !

What are we doing wrong here in the U.S. ???

 

[RealRider]

100 ??! Is there such a thing ???

The only time I find it is at this sleepy looking servo out west. Since Shell phased out their 'racing fuel' 100 octane I believe it is now 99 octane =(

Was good fuel but did the same thing as 98. I ride too hard out there to notice a KM difference

 

[Artopure]

Honestly I use 87. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I haven't had any problems.

I use Shell V-Power, my bike going better with this fuel

[Marbro_za]

[CBRHoonigan]

95 is your best? jeeeeeeeezus, all about 99, Or with a dash of av gas anything over 100 aha, Japan has the best octane rating i belive.

 

[RoninK6]

I think we have 87, 89 and 91 . Sad ~_~ .....

I seemed to recall reading something in the past about US v UK octane ratings, so did a bit of Googling and found this:

"UK uses (RON) Road Octane Number which is a higher number than the USA use Anti-Knock Index (AKI).

In most countries (including all of Europe and Australia) the "headline" octane that would be shown on the pump is the RON, but in the United States, Canada and some other countries the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON, sometimes called the Anti-Knock IndexAKI), Road Octane Number (RdON), Pump Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2.

Because of the 8 to 10 point difference noted above, this means that the octane in the United States will be about 4 to 5 points lower than the same fuel elsewhere:

87 octane fuel, the "regular" gasoline in the US and Canada, would be 91-92 in Europe."

Growing up we had 102 at the pump.
