Grade Of Fuel Poll

[Vibratinharley]

Wow, I topped my bike off with Sunoco 93 the other day and the bike didn't seem to run as good as before I fueled it and actually was pinging.. I just topped it off with 1.5 gallon. Now, I think I realize what is going on.

The pumps I use are single hose pumps and the guy/gal before me obviously due to high price of fuel is putting in the lowest octane and cheapest fuel he/she can use. Now I come along and use same hose to top my bike off with 93 and I am actually getting the cheap fuel that is in the hose all the way back to where it mixes the fuel at pump. That could be a half gallon or more of cheap low octane fuel that I am paying top dollar for. This is crazy. I think I am gonna start fueling at stations with separate fuel nozzles. AM I NUTS?:bigsmiley22: Anybody have any thoughts on this?

[KIT CUSTOM]

When available Shell 93 octane. 113 cu. in. 10.5-1 compression ratio.

 

[Animal]

Here in Alberta Canada all we can get is 91 but on the west coast around Vancouver you can get 93

 

[USMCCWO5]

I have only seen 91 at CA stations; usually buy from cheapest place. Right now that is around 3.57 a gallon.

 

[Bud White]

I use 93 in mine

 

[RKClassic]

I usually run 91 or 93 as well. (AR) Seems to cut down on the pinging.

 

[fatboy29]

I use the highest possible, usally 93
