as a former and soon to be back at it gasoline transport driver [23years worth] in Arkansas where we have real gas. the additive package is the only difference. All the gasoline is loaded with the same loading arm for each grade the additive is added as it is being loaded different one for each brand but same additive for each grade but differing amounts Texaco for example uses 635cc per 40gal of regular and 1285cc per 40 gal premium [mid grade is just a bend of 60%reg./40% perm] the other companies are about the same. I used premium in everything I drove until this last round of price increases I still try to use about every third . not for the octane but for the cleaning ability. Using premium I have never had a carburetor or a injector problem I guess I will find out how this works out unless price backs down . point is if you use premium you don't need to add anything. I have seen reports that using premium will cause problems but I never had one it in thirty-five years rddevill Arkansas ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

In Rider magazine, the guy that answers the Technical Q&A section said something similar to what you are saying. He said that engines that use regular run dirtier. Things that make you go Hmm!

"Hmm" indeed, since I can see no technical reasons why that should be true. Well, actually, I can. One way to raise octane is to add an oxygenator such as MBTE or ethanol. This in turn not only reduces the flame propagation speed (i.e., increases the octane), but also reduces CO emissions. However, those of us who live in areas where oxygenators are already added to the gasoline as a matter of course will see no such improvement, since our regular already has the maximum allowable percentage of such oxygenators. -E

I run the lowest Octane in all my vehicles here in TX. A Suburban with 200,000 miles, a Mazda MX 6 170,000 miles, a KLR with 37,000 miles, and a Concourse with 35,000. I did have to drain and clean the carbs on the Connie but they have a history with rust in tanks. Had no pinging or problems with the rest. Criswell

I think I recall from several years ago that Mobil stated or implied in its advertising that its premium grade of gasoline had "more" "cleaners" than regular grade. I took this as Mobils' way of getting more people to buy more expensive higher octane gasoline that their engine probably did not require. Therefore, if premium has more cleaners than regular it might keep an engine fuel system and combustion chamber cleaner (rather than making it "run dirtier" with regular). Also, I think there is a distinction between "fuel system" and "combustion chamber and valve" (carbon) cleaners. Products may be for one or the other or both; you may have to read the product description carefully to know what you're really getting. I'll stick with the DIY fuel additives, as needed/desired, and buy only the octane my engines reqire to avoid combustion knock. Jim A17

I am not talking a recent issue. It was some time ago I read it. I have every motorcycle issue I have ever gotten. I will dig thru them and send a copy of the article to prove i am not making it up. Rick A17 JRC wrote:

FYI Elden Carl and his crew have a new company multisurface motorcycling products. They are releasing a new spring for the rear shock of the KLR. It is specifically designed to replace the weak stock spring. To my knowledge this is the first aftermarket spring specifically designed for the KLR. They open for business on the 1st of July. Price including shipping is 89.95. There is also tax if you are a california resident. The site is www.multisurfacemotorcycling.com. I have one on order and am installing it next week, if anyone wants feedback let me know. Garr Rice
