gas additives

My local gas station has Ethanol free gas, I now pay more for gas but everything runs better on it. (lawn mower, outboard on my boat, 72 beetle,Ext,Ext) Pur-gas.org has a list of stations that cary it by state.

^while I agree with the ethanol free fuel being a better choice, I started driving out of my way to use 91 octane in my truck(with a 91 tune) and was paying the same as ethanol blended 93 octane. I didn't notice any difference in mpg, power, or how it ran after several tanks so I switched back to ethanol blended 93 octane for the same price and was able to run the 93 tune(more power).

Just my experience with that. Maybe there was no difference because it's an E85 vehicle? I'm not sure what they change for that...

I've been complementing 93 octane with AMSOIL's new motorcycle octane boost. Seems to be pretty awesome.

^Do you mean use 93 octane + octane booster in the buell? You don't need that high of octane in these engines.

I run 93 in my bike just because around here most stations don't carry 91. I should be a cheap ars and just do half 89 and half 93 and get 91 and save a few pennies.

Mine's been tuned to run on 93 octane. Around here we have a high ethanol percentage as well. The octane booster seems to help balance that back out.

Oh ok. More timing advance?

I add ~15mL of the Star Tron to the fuel roughly every fill up and about ~30mL of Gumout into the oil in between oil changes. So far, I am pleased with the results.
