[QUOTE="Eric B, post: 1074426, member: 18360"] That does sound like really bad mileage, bad gas or not. In my experience though, base gas is usually quite bad. My first bike, a 1992 Suzuki GS500E actually stalled several times after filling up on base at Travis AFB. On base gas in Europe was no better. Ramstein gas had enough water and crap in it that my Check Engine light lit on my Saab 9-3 Turbo after filling up on base, so I started only using the coupons to fill up off base. I did have to fill up on base at Mildenhall on a TDY and I didn't even get out of the lot at the station there before the Check Engine light came on there! Ever since, I never fill up on base. In fact, I only put Top Tier gas in my cars and the FJR. [/QUOTE]
