Brand of Gas
I always use 91.
My Slim seems to love it coming from Shell. Mobile a close second. Valero, it don't like. Arco, I would never, ever put in my baby.
All in my head? Or does the brand of gasoline matter?

I have used all of it 91+ I try to get 93 when I can. My cousin said to try and get ethanol free. That's BS. For one thing I would have to drive 30 min there and then back 30 min to get that. My bike is a 2011 and if HD didn't upgrade parts to handle ethanol then I guess I might have issues. So far so good.

I try to use stations on the right side of the road when I am low on gas.

The sticker on my front frame leg says to use premium, but all I've ever run is regular. Doesn't ping or anything. Still gets between 39-43 MPG, on the cheapest gas I can find, brand doesn't seem to matter to it.,,

A little off the subject but do gasoline companies always refine their own fuel, i.e., Shell only refines for Shell retailers, Chevron, Mobil, etc? or do the major refiners sell their product to any and all retailers?
