I’ve used Lucas fuel additive since way back. I have two Hondas GL1500, Gl1800 and one Harley Road King Police, I use it in all. Including my Expidition. All run smoother and I get better milage out of them all. Only 1.5oz per 5 gal. And inside my exhaust tips stays a lot cleaner as well. Ride Safe and Ride Often my Brothers and Sisters.

Hey guys, gasoline mixed with ethanol will reduce the distance you will travel on a given amount of fuel, and this in direct ratio. The unequivocal cause is that ethanol has about 2/3 of the heat energy of gasoline by weight. While it may be hard to find at 10% ethanol, resulting in a -3.4% distance per volume, at 85% ethanol, it is -28.9%. Ethanol in gasoline as a fix for energy independence is a scam. Alcohol fueled race cars use methanol. If you use methanol in your street vehicle it will not be for long – rapid fuel system component corrosion. Take the long way home.

The best thing I found that will counteract Ethanol is a product callet Star-Tron. All you need is 1 oz for each 5 gallons and if you are storing gas it will keep it stable for 2 years.

It also helps reduce carbon build-up.

Hi again, so this cast iron 8hp 1957 Huskey engine of the Cushman that was to run on reg. in the late 50s will be ok if I put 91 to 93 octane in it? I only go up the street and back, but hope to get a easier engine start. thanks

50′s high test was 95-101 reg was low 90′s 87 was mexican gas and you retarded the timeing to keep running with no power…but the rateing system was no doubt changed use the highest you can get that way no harm over gas, try marine gas non e-10..pay more but the scooter gets top miles per any way
