Fuckers don't do 98 though. Instant fail.

I do love the fact that they're consistently trying to keep the other four rogues in line.

But I use their 98 in the C50T as often as possible. It is a blend, but my bike is suitable for it and seems to run great on it!

So you say they DO do 98? I've gotta look further then, the one on Rosscommon doesn't unfortunately.

They do the stuff called "Force 10"
It's blended with 10% biofuel.
The Gull station in Tairua has it.... the sem fiddy got a bellyfull of it a couple of weeks ago

Tairua was where I was introduced to it and the C50T went like a scalded cat on the stuff. It seemed to be tuned for it. The owner's manual says to use 91 "or higher" without specifying how high you can go, but 'seat of the pants' says it makes a real difference.

The nearest station to me is Greville Rd. Albany and they have it there.

It's 97.5, but you can round it up to 98 if you want.

i stopped using them when they went biofuel, as i didnt want to risk it in the bike. the booklet they gave me wasnt very detailed on what it was safe for etc.

We're talking octane, not kilometres.

I don't use Gull as I have no idea what that biofuel will do to my bike. Don't surpose any VTR owners out there do use Gull and have no problems with their fuel?

It was an abbreviation/conglomeration of kilo's and metres.

Or open honesty, one or the other. (Or both.)

And what's wasted about your line?

I've used Force 10 in the SV since day 1. It hasn't gone BANG! yet...

The bike manual does approve of 10% ethanol blends BTW

I used to have this saying about leftovers, "If it's going to go to waste, it may as well go to mine..." ;)

Does Gull on Norton road in Hamilton do normal fuel or do they only supply the 10% ethanol stuff? I have a feeling they only do the ethanol.

I think the Ethanol blend is only the 98, In think 91 is standard petrol.

Here's the website. 91+ is Ethanol blend

The Gull website list them as having "regular" and "regular plus" The plus version is blended with ethanol (10%) and I assume the plain "regular" is not...
