    Avgs & 100 octane fuel IS worth a few more horses IF you have 10.5:1 comp AND run a lot of ignition advance, waste of time in a stock 8:1 engine with factory timing IMHO and experience - a lot of boy racers chuck a heap of avgas in their stock Mitsantoya and will tell you "gives it a heap more grunt" ( key to TUI ad, "yeah right")

    Is it the case that gull used to get their gas prerefined direct from overseas. I seem to recall that was the story going around the traps

    I was under the impression Gull , (and previously Challenge), imported their fuel, mainly from Singapore. Gull diesel is definitely imported, the van much prefers it,

    Yes SP, just got a email from Gull HQ/PR, and they confirm all fuel is from overseas, mostly Singapore as you say, and naturally they claim it is cleaner.

    one day for shits and giggles we chucked deisel in my old kwaka 100 (with some 2T of course). i think it only was running on like 100-200watts. Fuckn hilarious. Kept stalling too. I hated that bike
