Thanks for the lesson on gasoline and engines of different ages.

I don't remember the scoot being quite so cold blooded running the higher octane. I will try switching gas stations and see if it runs better with a different brand of lower octane.

Octane is widely misunderstood, and one of the most tenacious motorcycle myths says that it adds power. As we've seen, however, octane is merely reduced volatility, i.e. stability under pres- sure. In fact, both 80 and 100 octane fuels have exactly the same thermal potential: about 18,000 BTU per pound, so there is nowhere for extra power to come from. Despite this, many riders continue to use higher octane fuel... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (phillip914) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/15432 Sat, 16 Mar 2002 19:03:51 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/15431/t/What-Octane-.html#reply-15431

Octane ratings
I think that some attention should be paid by all of us to both altitude and temperature in the selection of our fuels. When it is hot a higher octane is often called for. The closer to sea level you are, the more likely you should be running with a grade of gasoline above 'regular'. Note, however, that the newer your motorcycle is, the less... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (phillip914) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/15429 Sat, 16 Mar 2002 18:21:07 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/15428/t/What-Octane-.html#reply-15428 feeds@yuku.com (fire fly medic) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/15428 Sat, 16 Mar 2002 18:01:02 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/15427/t/What-Octane-.html#reply-15427 I saved a few petroleum products bucks for addition of more "safety chrome".
