Many of the local gas stations now have stickers on the pumps saying 25% ethanol and the rest have 10% ethanol. This crap is not supposed to be good for our engines so where do we get gas or what do we do when you can no longer find good gas?

 

I haven't seen a 25% ethanol stamp on a pump yet - I personally wouldn't put that stuff into my machine - 10% is as high as most cars/bikes will allow. Which stations are selling that stuff?

 

What ever they sell? Not much too do about it. Gas aint Gas any more?

 

It was at a conveience store in Manchester, TN just off I-24. I wouldn't use the junk either but you can't never tell what you'll find on the road.

 

Nothing with 25% around here yet....I wouldn't run it as long as I have a choice. I use the 10% all the time with no problem, and always the highest octane possible.

 

What gas mileage do you get?I ran one tank with 10% last month in Daytona and saw a 10% drop in gas mileage onthat tank compared to the rest of the trip with no ethenol.

 

Soon it will be good enough to drink !


Ride On !!!

 

When I first got my 08 Ultra I was getting 44-46 consistantly for the first 1,100 miles (until the 1k service). I had stage-1 done with a SERT and dyno tune and then ended up putting the bike into winter storage. The little I've been able to ride so far my milage is way down....around 32 and the plugs are black, so I will likely be taking it back into the shop to retune (I've already talked to them and they will do it at no additional charge). I want to run another tank or 2 thru it to see for sure before I have it retuned because it feels good, but I know my milage can be much better.

 

i try and locate a shell station when possible most around here don't use ethenal yet other wise the highest octain posible 92+

 

You mean it's not now?? ****...
...spits out a mouthful of 10%...

Actually the MoCo says up to 10% is OK for the bikes. Haven't seen anything w/25 yet either...
