The math works out to a gallon and a half between the valve and the nozzle.
Thats quite a bit of regular before you get "good gas". With the prices the way they are, not very many in socal are buying premium, so it sits in the UST's a lot longer
If the hose is10-feet with an internal diameter of 3/4 inch, the amount of regular gasoline would be 0.229 gallons (V = pr2h, or 3.14 x (0.375 in.)2 x 120 in. x 0.00433 gal/in.3). About a quart. Where do you get a gallon and a half?

I buy a 12 oz bottle of Techron from a Chevron station. I add 3 oz to a full tank every 1000 miles to keep everything clean.

Didn't mean to release my "inner geek". Whatever the amount is, there's not much that can be done about it other than using an octane boost if your bike runs like crap after filling up.
