Technically there are slightly fewer of THOSE critters because some of them have been replaced by molecules specifically designed NOT to explode.

Besides that, and being a waste of money, I also heard somebody say last week that there are SO few people buying premium these days (even some who actually should) that the fuel in THAT underground tank may actually be quite old.

But then, it's kind of like pollution and climate change. Despite what 99% of the most respected scientists in the whole world tell you about not needing higher octane, you may well come back in a week or so and tell us how absolutely GREAT your bike runs with high octane fuel. :skull:

Please do let us know. We all have been waiting for some actual usage data from somebody we can trust. :roll:
