I run  octane non-ethanol. If I were you, I would just run , These little tanks don't hold much, so price shouldn't be a problem. |

How's it going , I use others use anything from 87 and up. Some have no problem with 87 or under and some say they have had problems , there are many different opinions and I'm just gonna say it's all up to u . My tank holds a little under 2 gallons and the extra change doe sent bother me , that and I tend to leave the fuel in the tank for about 3 months during the winter so those r the main reasons I use . |

High octane is made for high compression. If you don't have a bbk installed, 87 will work fine and anything higher is a waste of money (though not much since it only costs $3 to fill up).

My 2013 BMS 150 cc calls for 91+ octane.

I thought with bbk's the compression stays in the same range due to the bigger head. Now a bbk with stock head would have high compression. Haven't done compression checks to verify, but a new bbk and new stock build seems to have around the same compression levels unless the piston,crankshaft, ect is modified. |

Not sure if a bigger head keeps compression the same as stock. I still run the stock head on my bbk, so perhaps I'm confusing the issue. Regardless, high octane is not necessary on gy6 engines.

I notice a slight performance difference on regular, like engine feels like it lost power, but still runs starts and rides good. I rarely is mid grade so I can't comment. Whats your top speed. Any starting problems from high compression? Hows the accel? |

Starting was rough till I bought the advancing angle cdi from tvnacman, now it starts at the press of the button. Acceleration is terrific, no cars keep up with me off the start, and only those putting the pedal to the metal keep up with me through the mid range. Top speed on flat ground is 54mph, I can reach 60 going downhill.

Got my scoot back from the mechanics. He told me all bikes should be on hi-octane. We got talking 'cause I wondered which was the better option, to use Startron to help counter the crapanol, or use octane booster on clean low-octane gas (meaning pure, meaning no crapanol added!) He said either way I have to add chemicals, and his preference is to get the highest octane he can find (usually BP's) and add the Startron.
