Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
93, but once a month I run a gallon or two of 112 in a tank of 93 to clean it out.

Higher octane fuel burns slower that is not good for an engine not made for it. Most HD are built to run on 91 so even 93 is a bit of over kill. ( HD that have had compression jacked up will need a bit higher like 93) Octane has nothing to do with cleaners that maybe added to the fuel. In fact some additives used in racing fuel or aircraft fuels are not the best for your bike. Most High end stations nowdays sell top tier fuels that have plenty of cleaners added to them. Add of a bit of insurance a little sea foam couple times a season of riding will not hurt.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
I was told to use Euro 98 Super rather than the 95 Regular alternative. I'm not sure how that compares to the US octane standards.

Re: Grade Of Fuel Poll
Your 91 octane "Mid Grade" is the highest octane gas I've seen at the pumps in So CA, I didn't even know 93 octane was available anywhere.
