It's often stated that folks won't notice the loss in power with ethanol based fuels. I would have to disagree. Charlie and I, as residents of the east coast, are fed a constant diet of ethanol laced fuel. At a couple hundred miles inland from the coast, we fueled up on the way to Stony Brook with ethanol free gas. We both gained top end and the bikes just felt better. First question at first stop after ethanol free fuel up:
"Does your bike feel like it gained power?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing."
We were able to cruise at around a buck ten without a problem. (He made me do it... I wanted to go 40)
We noticed.
