Non ethenal gas

You should be seeing an 8-9% increase in MPG as well.

You're probably right but I don't keep track of my mpg.

Works great for the work and shopping etc., on the road, it is Chevron and it's highest octane sold whenever possible.
A tank of the 110 does make a noticeable power level increase, but at $8 a gal, too expensive for me! I think it makes the higher compression in my bike with it's stage IV state.

DON'T put leaded fuel in your bike if you have oxygen sensors. It does screw up the oxygen sensors. And it doesn't take long.

Grain–Dial petroleum 2757 S Federal Way in Boise has 91 octane with no alcohol.

I am new to the HD world and I only see E-10 in my area, should I get a fuel treatment if it sits?

If you use up the fuel in 2-3 weeks it shouldn't be a problem, longer than that and stabilizer is definitely required. Steve Garns (Brew Dude) did a couple of excellent articles in the The Horse BC on the effects of E-10 after only a couple of months of storage.

I've been using shell v-power in my 96 and sea-foam no problems.

The preferred additive is Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment. (In the blue bottle)

Picked some up, thanks
