Default 91 with ethonal or 93 w/out ethonal

A mfg. sticker on my Dyna frame has printed that I should use 91 oct.

For a 0.10-0.20 per gallon more a local gas station has ( well what they claim to have, I have not done a lengthy investigation or anything of the sort) 93 oct. WITH-OUT ethonal which to me I hop all over it, thinking from my experience of talks on post like these about how HARD ethonal is on a MC engine.

Question: Am I throwing my money away by opting to purchase the higher grade fuel without ethonal, or am I making the right choice in mind of my Investment?

93 without ethanol is THE ONLY CHOICE.

Where you finding no ethanol gas? Every place around here seems to have it.

I can't find anything higher than 91% here and its with ethanol. And only one place with 91% without ethanol is about 45 minutes away.

A place called Eagle Stop or something like that and then theres another just a couple minutes away towards the lake.

Its not posted big time but theres marques up above the gas prices next to the road or a Pepsi flyer on the side of the gas station.

I live around a Military Instalation in Missouri so the ECONOMIC hardships are SORT-OF *so to speak* not so HORRIABLE AND SCARY, kind of like a little tiny economic bubble. One gas station owner out towards the lake likes to keep the 93w/out ethonal for his race cars and so yeah, dont know how it does on gas mileage diff. probally doesn't matter so much compared ( to my belief) to the damage I'm saving to my MC engine.

You will get better gas mileage with the real stuff, plus it will eliminate a lot of fuel related problems. Support your local racer dude!

A lot of BP, Shell, Kwik Trip and Phillips 66 stations have No-Ethanol Premium in WI. Probably cause boaters hate ethanol even more than bikers.

There is a website on this, but there are many more stations than on here.

I drive across town and pay a few cents more for non ethanol for every vehicle I own. Ethanol sucks!

If I am not mistaken, marinas or any gas stations that sell fuel for boats are not federally mandated to include ethanol because it is horrible for engines that sit for any lenght of time.
