Just out of interest, how much does gas cost in the US? At the mo here in England we are paying about £0.93p a litre - that's about $1.65 a litre in your money. Our premium is around £0.99p a litre - that's about $1.75 in your money. We are getting seriously ripped off here!

$2.70 a gallon for 87 / $2.90 for 93

That'd be around 73 cents a liter. You guys are getting raped[:@]

they don't have government subsidizing gas taxes like we do...if we really pay for gas all by ourselves, without uncle sam's help...it'll be at least $5 per gallon.

i dont know about you guys but i ride my bike how its designed, near mach speed. i go to track days and whatnot all the time. just recently i went to jennings gp. they were selling like 130 oct fuel. bit much if you ask me but hey, whatever. i run 93 in my bike cause im always in 10k - 14k rpm. at the track i ran out of fuel so i had to buy theirs for an arm and a leg, and it did make a differance. about 600 miles at 12k+ rpm. the bike ran smoother and more responsive. im gonna stay at 93 altho the manual says 87 or whatever because all the websites about fuel say "high compresion blah blah blah HIGH REVING" and i do alot of that. theres no way i want my motor to start knocking before im done with it
