#391353 cumminsman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 355 Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Just got back from a ride this afternoon (finally quit raining) Ran 211.25 miles from 50 to 75 mph mixed town and hiway Mostly hiway temps in the mid 70s and used 3.84 imperial gallons (4.55 liters) to the imperial gallon,is this something I should expect? 55.01mpg 2008 Road Star silverado S Stage3 exhaust Iridium plugs poor mans bak ais removed Shell premium   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #391355 Sheepdog (User) Famous last words Watch this S*&^ Gold Boarder Posts: 701 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Roughly 45 MPG US gallons. Not too bad. Unless you have hi compression pistons, the premium fuel is wasting money. We run better on 87 octane or Regular in the US   Logged     Sheepdog It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

As our rides are low compression, it does nothing for us. It is also been said that due to the way it burns that it "might" contribute to carbon build up and potential SVS. And is excellent MPGs SD   Logged     Sheepdog It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

I will store the bike with premium,and stabil over the winter just to be on the safe side. Good to know about the SVS Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #391389 Starkruzen (User) Starkruzen Platinum Boarder Posts: 1460 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   I seem to have better performance with the middle grade gas.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #391396 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 774 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   If the choice I had was between 87 with ethanol or 91 without, I would use the 91. I just don't think there is in validity to the higher octane causing svs. In the area I live in you are hard pressed to find any fuel with ethanol. In OKC it is plentiful.. but not here, people just won't buy it around here. I have run all grades in my bike, and cannot tell the difference in any of it. I try to stay away from the ethanol. But on roadtrips sometimes I have to fillup with it. If the premiun fuel is giving you that kind of mileage stick with it...my mileage gos down with the ethanol.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #391399 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Everyone's mileage goes down with ethanol. Ethanol doesn't contain as much energy as gasoline. End ethanol subsidies, and just give us gasoline!!!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #391467 cumminsman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 355 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Agpilot,the E word is bad news to anybody that flys piston aircraft as you would know,there is nothing good about putting it in are gas. I will just for S&G try 87 reg on my next fill to see if it makes a difference on the mileage,being that I fly also makes putting ethanol in anything hard to do. Ps Hope my mileage drops,then the choice will be easy....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #391493 stanag (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 362 Re:Good Milege 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Here is a web site that lists gas stations that do not have ethanol in the gas. You can search by state. http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=ME Stan   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
