91 octane
I see everyone posting about using 91 octane. Just curious where all you guys are getting your gas, here in the northeast the choices at gas stations are 87, 89 and then 93. I only use 93 in the bike, but just curious what states or stations have 91

At home in the southeast, I have seen 91,92 and 93 at stations within the same proximity. It seems to be different from company to company.

I see mostly 92 and 93 in my area. Don't recall seeing 91. In any case, the higher the octane the better. I get 93 whenever I have a choice.

Here in the midwest I see 91 & 93. I usually opt for the 93.

usually find it at the off-brand or independent stations.
Have run 93 can't tell the difference tank to tank.

I live in sLOs Angeles, and that's all I use. I don't think we have 93 anymore around here.

You will only find 90 in Alaska. Nothing higher unless you go to the airport and get av gas.
Must be due to our proximity to the North Pole.
