[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1013051, member: 6354"] The 85 at your altitude is the same performance octane-wise that we sea-level folks get in 87. You're wasting your money putting mid-grade in it just to get 87. Put in the cheap stuff and send me the difference. Find other stations. Around here, ethanol-free is available in all grades, not just premium. And it's not going to destroy your bike. Just don't store it without a stabilzer. Ironic, in that ethanol was first used in premium as an octane booster. Regular gas, 87 octane. Dump in some ethanol, POOF! 91 octane. (That goes back to when I had hair, and before RadioHowie married his wife the first time.) [/QUOTE]
