Good Scoop.... "New Fuel"
Over the past 24 months, modern day gasoline has undergone numerous changes.
Gone are the days of knowing that your Premium grade gasoline was in a refinery just a week or so ago, and you were paying $1.95 a gallon... and Stoich was 14.7 (Stoich is the optimum fuel-air mix for no/light load operation)...
Nowadays, our fuel is enhanced with, what they say is no more than 10% Ethanol, not to mention all the other additives (Detergents, inhibitors, etc...), and it has been sitting in the underground storage tanks for months or a year, untouched and getting stale.
And yet, that is for year old gasoline that is at best, 14.3 stoich... (ethanol enhancement requires that your bike be reprogrammed/rejetted fatter).....
