My home is in California…running a BMW R1200RT Chevron 91 octane with 10% ethanol at near sea-level…in this environment on long non-stop coastal rides (Highway 1) I average 42 mpg. Compare with my annual rides up through Ketchum Idaho and Kalispell Montana where I can purchase 95-96 Octane ethanol free at Sinclair Stations…the elevation is 4K above sea level. The BMW humms along at 90-95 MPH averaging 48 MPG. Fact!!

I use fuel grade 95 on my 2009 Electra, however the engine still knocks when hot.

Well here is my take on Higher Octane Fuel for All of my vehicles. What you need to realize is that not only does Premium Grade Fuel come with a Higher Octane Rating, it also has additional Fuel Conditioners and Cleaners not included in the lower Grades of Gasoline, to me it is like paying a few cents per gallon as Maintenenance for your Fuel System and Valves. The key to keeping a vehicle Dependable is Keeping it’s Engine and Drivetrain Clean, Premium Grade Fuel will take you a long way to keeping your Fuel and Valve Train Clean. I have been using Premium Grade fuel all my life and have very little if Any history of Mechanical Engine Failure. This would be a reason I would recommend everyone use Premium Grade Fuel.

A motorcycle will run better on regular gas if you do not need hightest. A good way to make any motorcycle run on regular gas is to use Sonic spark plugs. You will never use any other plug once you use these plugs The performance is so much better than a regular plug.The plug brakes the gas up so it can burn more completly.

If you want to maximize the fuel that you’re using, try adding some Oxytane. It chemically balances the ionic charge of flowing gasoline. As a result you get a cleaner combustion chamber, better gas mileage and better performance. I use it in my sportbike and Harley. My customers love it ’cause it really works!
