Octane, carb cleaner and wind

GZ250 · 10-01-2007, 06:25 PM

I used to use gas with octane 87 in my bike and carb cleaner then a guy at the dealership told me not to use the carb cleaner insted use the gas with octane 93. With octane 93 the ride is smooth and noise level is low. I get the same mileage with 87 and 93. So I dont see any difference in mileage. Wind is a factor. During those days when we had 'air stagnant advisories' I got above average milage for my bike just because there was less air resistance.
