octane preferences

From: Tumu Rock Just curious what octanes fellow listers are using. I currently use 93 since the difference of $0.20 a gallon (from 87 to 93) works out to only about $1 more per tank. I just assume higher octane is better but maybe I'm wasting a buck a tank? dat brooklyn bum ******************************* Mike at Dual Star suggests that feeding you bike filet mignon (high octane), will spoil it and then it will no longer function properly on ground beef (low octane). I use only low and mid-grade cuts in my bike and it runs great. My A12 (15K miles) has yet to develop the tweet also, but don't know if it is related to octane or not. Darrel (pass the A-1 please)

Does anyone know of a bigger gas tank or maybe an auxiliary tank for the KLR? There is a local guy going to Nepal / China, looking for more range between Texaco's I guess. CA Stu
