My sympathies, butI NEVER run with highly flammable fuel in my bike when I'm trying to outrun johnny law...I use the safe, unflammable type.

I've been thinking of converting mine to diesel just for the reason. Slow and noncombustible, that's my motto!

The higher the octane, the higher the ignition point. Duh. The fuel in no way increased any danger.

Are you sure it didn't increase the danger? If it has a higher ignition point, wouldn't it burn at a higher temp?
