This topic has been beaten to death. Do a search for the word "octane" and you'll find a myriad of info like this quote from one of my previous posts.
Quote:
Suzuki makes an Asian sub-continent head for the GZ that will run 60 octane, kerosene, deisel, saki, dog shit, etc. I think it's safe to use the cheapest gas possible for the GZ. Now, both my Harley's require 91 octane...... so WTF??
PS: Your Owner's Manual says 87 octane minimum on page #7. No mention of anything else.

Also, please remember that the higher the octane, the
LOWER the volatility. That keeps high compression engines from detonating (pinging). I also run 10% ethanol regular without any problems.
