From what I have heard about local fuel, this is true to tap and not a hodge podge of different mixes. I bought some injector cleaner somewhile back, I think it's around somewhere unopened.

Just recently, I have have started adding a bit of StarTron to each new tankful with apparent good effect. My throttle response is noticeably better and the old girl seems to have a bit more snap. Who knows about all the other BS they claim: Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment - Star Tron Story

YUP, maybe it is an allusion, but the StarTron does seem to work well. I do think it helps when storing fuel in the bike for a lay up period. The hype says it is good with ethanol so I put a shot in every tank.

Gas is so high around here that the premium does not get used and goes dead in holding tanks so when you get a tank of premium you're getting junk and also 90% of all stations in this part of Kentucky come out of Lexington marathon tank farm. I have several friends that drive tankers and tell me that the line also runs over to Chevron tank farm which is right beside marathon not exactly sure where Shell comes from.

That's a really good point Jesse. As a lower volume seller it must sit around in the service station tanks longer.

That's right when premium goes bad they turn it in to standard.

Ive been feeding mine on 91 ron since Ive had it and dont plan on changing.
A lot of places Ive been to lately its a choice of 91ron petrol or diesel,nothing else.
My HD owning mates hate it,one more reason I prefer Triumph

Obviously, we have a sight problem.........

Gasoline is like mouthwash or oil filters. It all comes from the same place, or in this case, tank farm and gets distributed to different brand filling (end user) stations.

Every region is different as far as how/where the fuel comes from.
Locally most stations come from the same tank farm at the local pipeline outlet.

However, a few stations have their fuel trucked in from the Gulf for better quality.

You will have to check your location. Use the FRESHEST fuel possible.
