I cannot speak for any of you but would like to here your opinions on something i think about everytime i fill up. (Car or bike) When we opt for premium (91 or 93) do we really get what we are paying for? How much 87 is still in the lines of the pump when there is only the one nozzle for ALL types of fuel? We all know the previous person 9 times outta 10 bought 87 so how much till we get the 91 or 93 outta the nozzle and when we do is it mixed or pure 91 93?
Anybody have this thought or reputable branded fuel stations to stay at for filling up? Anyone have bad luck at places?
Lets here it gals and girls.
Thanks Kevin

I saw an article in a bike mag. about this . According to that if you add 3 gal. of 93 octane , you will get about a quart to quart and a half of 87 octane . So you will end up with something like 92.5 octane . In other words your bike will be fine .
I've run 87 in my xb12r multiple times with absolutely no problems so I'm not worried about getting a little residual 87 when filling up.
Thats an interesting thought. Those pumps should have more control of what's in the line if they can "accurately" measure down to 10th of a penny for what we are charged.
Agreed they should have more control. How do we know 93 is 93? Does anyone test it. I sure use some gas and never see it heard of it being tested.
Easy solution, find a station that has seperate hoses for each type of gas.
Easier said than done. Its more cost efective for the pump to have 1nozzel insted of 3.find a station that has seperate hoses for each type of gas.
All the Shell stations I have been to have 4 pumps; diesel, 87, 91, 93 octane. I ONLY go to shell.
I've found(at least in Nebraska where we dont have the best fuel ne way) that Shell fuel makes my bike run less than wonderfully. My bike is stock other than the D&D 07 uly. I assume that the shell fuel that advertises its special engine cleaning additive has more ethonal in it and most shell stations post a 10%eth. rating on their 91 octane. I try to always use BP premium which ranges from 91-93 depending on where u r.. and if u get it at a truck stop they often have one or two pumps that have a hose 4 each grade which is a plus but i dont think a nescessity.
