    Give me the extra 45c/liter and I'll fill your bike and won't tell you the RON,and you won't know the difference

    Yeah. You can get stuff that is petrol proof OR Alcahol proof but not both. generally.

    Question 98 ultimate

    Just arrived in CH-CH the last couple of weeks,been using it, seems[maybe in my mind] to run smoother and have a bit more power. Can some one tell me how a higher octane makes your bike run cleaner, so they claim?

    Methnol and and ethanol are different fuels, well enthanol is not a recommended fuel... it burns too early (on the upstroke) and blows holes in pistons, maybe I should better use the word "HOT" next time

    Baaah

    Please do not use your mind use a dyno all else is hear say and as such is meaningless hi-octane=lower slower burn temp/time if your motor is not set up for it it wont make much difference.Usually used in conjunction with higher comp very useful in 2 strokes.50/50 mix can be of use on standard set up race 2 strokes.

    yep got to agree. get ya bikes on a dyno and let us know the results. different bikes have different set ups. some will run better some maybe worse.
    do the test and lets me know. might be interesting.
