Is there no difference in octane levels?

Try diesel.

...or NOS. Click.

It's all the same. Apart from that Gull ethanol blend, it all comes from the same refinery.

I will have to run the tank dry and fill it with one or the other and see if she pings I guess?

I ran 98 in my Hornet for two years before being told by a well known and very reputable mechanic that 98 was no good for my bike being carburettored. Have been running 91 for the last few months and I can't honestly tell the difference. Other than it costing quite a bit less to fill up.

I used to own a gpx, 91 is fine

+1 to that too...I actually found that the 96 (thats what I had in it) created a flat spot in my cbr around 10-14k RPM, disappeared when I went back to 91
