Default Cheap wawa gas

Seems like my bike runs way stronger on cheap wawa 92 other that name brand 93s..i talked to the guys at wawa they said they get 3 tanker trucks per day!!! I know I worked at a Sunoco years ago and it took us weeks to get a truck maybe it's just fresh

I use octane booster and run 95 to 98 after adding it depending on what I pump. Bike just likes the gas better with a booster and helps keep things clean with all this crappy gas these days.

I got some bad fuel at the Sunoco in Bechtelsville, Pa back in 2009.

I Sunoco near my house is a high volume station.

Octane booster...that's an idea. Highest we can get up here is 91 but ya never know what it REALLY is. I'll have to try some booster in the next tankful just to see what may improve.

IMO the other stations, many owned by non Americans, are putting regular in the premium tank. They busted more than a few in NJ.
Many of the same were busted for price gouging after superstorm Sandy.
Imagine my complete surprise at that.

The booster you can buy like Lucas will treat 21 gallons or so so use accordingly, too much is not good.... Read label of the brand you choose, do the math and add. You will notice a difference.... Oh and I use a ziplock bag to keep it in in my bags and make sure cap is tight to avoid spilling in bags. I get 4 treatments out of a bottle.
