What MPG?

Sure, it sucks, but if you look at the difference in cost between a slightly less fuel efficient flashed bike and a more fuel efficient but less fun unflashed bike...  I'd pay the extra dollar, personally

Used to be much cheaper to have fun, not very long ago.

Running premium in this bike is certainly painful at the pump with these intentional gas prices, never dreamed I'd spend $40 worth of fuel on a good day ride. 😔

Ive been able to find non ethanol locally. I've used that for the majority of my fill ups. I should have said that in the above post. E0 should be good for a slight MPG increase. I use it almost exclusively in my car. Which returns 36 mpg on my commute regularly btw. If I drive conservative I can get 40mpg. Just about the same as the Tracer.

We have E0 available but at a hefty premium $$.  I have used it but not noticed an increase in fuel economy, I mainly use it in the winter when the vehicles sit around idle and get used much less.

Using it exclusively would cost me a fortune, @ $6.60 a gallon a typical day ride would be over $50 for gas + lunch.

I think I paid last weekend about $4.39 for 91 E0. 😉

When I'm cheap I add regular or mid-grade into a half tank of premium.

I have run mid-grade without apparent ill effects like pre-ignition or detonation based on reading the spark plugs and viewing th tops of the piston with a bore scope...
