RE: Sunoco 100 Octane!!!
I was useing 100 octane aviation fuel for a little while and the bike ran good on it,but it wasn't a dramatic improvment.I mixed it with regular to get different octane ratings and any thing over 95 didn't make a differance.The airport isn't suppose to sell it for non aviation use,so you have to know someone.I got tired of lugging jugs down to the airport and asking the dude to hook me up so I stopped useing it.It's not such a big deal to be bothered with the hassle.

Have you ever read about the guys who add toluene to their gas to get high octane numbers?

I wouldn't use airplane100LL in my bike, it has more lead in it then car gas ever had. On my plane i would have to clean the plugs like ever 25 hours or so. Stop by the local drag strip and get some C16 (116 octane) mix with 93. here is a link for ratios, i tend to go 2:1 or 3:1

Are you sure it's not 110 octane? There's a station down the road that sells SUNOCO racing fuel and that's what it is there 110. 6.29 a gallon. Mine runs better on it too. Smells good too

Sorry guys, but I'm a non believer. If your bike stopped pre-detonation, how can youconvince methat it wasn't the drop in ambiant air temperature? As for better performance....methinks we all want it to run better to justify the $6+ a gallon cost. The mind is a powerful thing. But in reality...want me to believe it? Take it to the drag strip and run a controlled test using both octane ratings under identicalas possible conditions. In other words....sorry, but I gotta see the data.
