Race fuel?

[Roy]

So, I went to a local gas station in New Brighton, to fill up my 5 gallon gas jug for my lawnmower and to also use some in my motorcycle.  I had heard that they carried non-oxy fuel...they did but it was 110 octane race fuel.  Is that ok to use in my motorcycle and my lawnmower?

Needless to say I won't be going back again because that gas was 6.80 per gallon  !  I know BP has non-oxy at some stations but there are none close by...

non-0xy is good for your bike. 110 octane is not. The high octane is for engines that are tuned for it and have a real high compression. The higher octane prevents pre detination that the lower octane fuels do when put into a high compression engine.

Thanks for the info.  I think the gas they sold me is also leaded...  I guess I got taken.  Well if anyone wants some free race fuel let me know; I've got about 4 gallons of it.

I bet your lawn mover was fast as hell lol.  You could probally use it and just mix it with 87, I think; better ask someone to make sure.   $6.80 is cheep.  VP is $10-12 a gallon fwiw

we're supposed to be boycotting BP anyways right?  I mean being brits is reason enough

If it's leaded, I definitely wouldn't use it in your bike. The lead can foul up fuel injectors and electronic sensors (O2, for example) that it comes in contact with.
