Grade Of Fuel Poll
What grade of gas do you use in your Harley?
Should be interesting to see what's used. Feel free to leave your comments. Last edited by glider : 03-13-2008 at 10:36 PM. |

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
Right now I am using Shell gasoline and a mom & pop store brand but both are 93 octane. Depends on the price. So far no problems at all.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
I tune my bikes to run on 91 anything but my choice at the pump if I can get it is Sunoco 93. I also carry Lucas Liquid HP to add if I end up with a tank of CRAP gas.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
I alway put in super, but I've noticed from state to state the octane in the super can really vary. also a lot of place are going to ethanol.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
Always try to run highest octane, in NC it is mainly 93 octane and I prefer BP Super. They used to sell racing fuel at a local gas station that was 102 octane. Scared I might burn a piston though.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
I always use 93. Price difference means I might spend 50 cents more per tankful from mid-grade, so I don't worry about price so much anymore, just performance.
