So, if you can't get Chevron...

 :yow Us poor country bumpkins only get REG PREM ULTRA or DIESEL...luckily my wife's' car, and my truck both take (the manufacturers recommended) 87 regular fuel.

Maybe I could sneek another feulish question in here without raising the ire of the moderators? What about injector cleaner? Anyone use it, or is it already added to higher grade fuels? The reason I ask, is that I recently experienced of of motorcycling's most embarrassing moments...I always add stabilizer to a fresh tank before I garage the K for about 3 or 4 months (depending on the weather gods here in Canada) and upon re-emerging this spring, I noticed it was sputtering and coughing a bit at low RPM, so although I had never experienced this in previous years,  I figured, hey, maybe the stab or gas was bad, and gummed the injectors, so I put the required amount per volume in a fresh tank, to no avail...and it was then that my friend noticed the rubber vacuum cap missing on the middle carb  :embarass: I replaced it, and all was good again. Well there is still a bit of injector cleaner left in the tank, as I have not had the opportunity to top it up with a fresh tank...of what will NOW be hi-test. Will there be an issue with that combo?

R&R my throttle tube, while waiting for the fog to dissipate. Removing the Symtech HG liner was a trip. Blue switch wire broke in the process. Little bit of solder & shrink tube cured the snafu,I hope,read test run in order.

Up here in the rarified air of NM (7,000' altitude), I don't notice much difference with lower or higher octane fuels. Where I DO note a difference is when I put 100% gasoline (@ 90 octane) in my whip. VRRROOOOMMM!!

  If you can get No Corn, do it! Your engine will be happier in many ways. We have but one station in Taos that sells it, the Phillips 66 on the south side of town.

Ethanol blended gas hmmmm. We have some stations up here that offer it, but not many.

Here's a site that lists ethanol-free gas stations: http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=WA

FYI, I just checked the pure-gas.org site and found that there are only 5 locations in the peoples republic of California that sell real gas.
Everyone of them is far north of the Bay Area. What is a Brickhead to do?

Thanks for this one Duck. This site has an iphone app as well - invaluable!

I won't buy high octane gas for the bike from a station that has one hose on a pump offering multiple fuel grades.

I figure there's probably at least two or three gallons of whatever fuel the last guy bought pre-loaded in the hose and pump plumbing, and I'd likely be wasting my money.

Ya, I hear you.

Petrol arrives into Billtown via pipeline. Just imagine what the buffer mix is ? LOL   

However, I'm willing to spend one dollar "more or less" per tanKup, read good karma. Pass it to the next poor soul who buys 87 is my mantra. I knew a guy who owned a Porsche and ran low octane fuel. Talk about uphill ping, sigh, if they ONLY knew.
