[QUOTE="dman4486, post: 5732898, member: 585160"] I think you will find it has less to do with the octane rating, and more to do with the different loads of fuel the station gets. even sticking with the same station, you will get different percentages of ethanol. I found that 0% ethanol premium gas in my motorcycle allows me over 200 miles on 2.5 gallons. as the % goes up my mileage drops. average for me is between 50 and 65 mpg, but on my trip last year to myrtle beach for bike week, we stopped at a station about half way down SC and filled up. I noticed a sign that said "we are ethanol free". I ran 180 miles before switching into reserve...that is 2 gallons!!!!!90mpg!!!!! [/QUOTE]
