I use a app on my phone called Pure Gas. Guides you to stations that sell gas not corn liquor. Check it out.

Low octane would be suicide for my ride, I carry octane boost and add when I can't get real fuel...

It isn't updated very often so your information may not be correct. It is helpful

I would put in what they had and enjoy the rest of the ride. Get your 91 octane at the next fill up. Funny how some people use octane boosters when the manual actually says use of these will damage the fuel system.

Lots of times in out of the way places they will not have premium...but they do have ethanol free 89 octane.

My stage 1 bikes have always run Better on ethanol free 89 than they do on 93 with ethanol.

Last summer I got was somewhere in the northwest and all I could find was 87 octane. Put it in and rode. No problems.

"MILWAUKEE (June 27, 2011) Ideal for use in areas where premium fuel is not available, Screamin' EagleŽ Super Octane Boost (P/N 94867-10, $4.95) from Harley-DavidsonŽ Genuine Motor Accessories provides a 3 RON (Research Octane Number) boost to the posted pump gas octane. Use of higher-octane gasoline may reduce engine pinging and heat, and improves performance in higher-compression engines. Formulated with a powerful detergent, Octane Boost effectively cleans fuel injectors, carburetors, and intake valve and combustion chamber deposits with just one treatment. One four-ounce bottle of Octane Boost treats one motorcycle tank of fuel. Safe for use with catalyst and oxygen sensor equipped bikes, Screamin' EagleŽ Super Octane Boost is the only octane additive tested and approved by Harley-Davidson Motor Co., for use in Harley-Davidson motorcycles."

Common occurrence out here in West Texas more map dot towns than not only have one gas at the pump. Next high octane gas just might be a tank and a half away. I just carry some octane booster with me. A word to the wise however make sure if it is going to be in your bags for an extended period of time you check it periodically to insure it is not about to leak.

Ask me how I know ...
