Ethanol-free gas provides a slightly higher octane rating since it's not "watered down" with ethanol, slightly increased fuel economy and produces more power per unit. Basically your bike will run slightly better and cooler. Gas with ethanol produces slightly cleaner emissions at a cost of lower fuel economy, cheaper price but is also somewhat corrosive to certain metals and rubbers. It absorbs water and dirt very easily though so must be filtered well. Gas with high concentrations of ethanol has a much higher detonation limit and therefor a tuner can run higher boost levels and more timing on this type of fuel. | |

| Peg Dragger  Joined: Mar 2012 From: Gig Harbor, WA I Ride: 2002 Honda VFR800 | So forced induction vehicles want to run the E10 (and soon E15) blended fuels? There must be a PSI where E10 becomes better...I would imagine its in the 20+PSI range...Normal 8-12 PSI probably still benefits more from ethanol free... Ideas? |

| Shredder  Joined: Feb 2008 From: Olympia I Ride: XR650R | E85 is what you want for high horse power forced induction applications. That stuff has an octane of about 105 and you burn more of it per volume of air because the ideal ratio is more like 9.7:1 vs gasolines 14.7:1. But all of this requires supporting mods to include HUGE fuel injectors. |

| Superbiker  Joined: Jul 2007 From: Camas, Washington I Ride: 05 zx12r | ethanol leads to higher moisture content (water) suspended in the fuel, leads to more corosion / rust in the tank / pump / etc... also not compatible with older fuel lines (they look like frosted flakes on the inside after a year or two of being exposed to the alky fuels) breaks down / "goes bad" quicker than non-ethanol fuels do etc... Alky does love boost though... runs cool, resist det, more power (about 30% over gas, but yer burning like 50% more to do it...) Last edited by ddonacazx12; 09-21-2012 at 06:39 PM.. |

| Permit  Joined: Mar 2012 From: Shoreline, WA I Ride: F800GS | I use ACME Fast Fuel in Olympia. They have Premium Ethanol Free at their Lilly Rd facility and Mid-Grade Ethanol Free at their downtown facility. ...and I agree with the diesel comment. |
