    What Octane Of Fuel Are You Using On Your Trike? I use Reg. And Switch Out Every Other Tank With Hi-Test. I Don't See Or feel Any Difference Except For Cost. And Cost Is Going To Be High Going Forward....

    If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

    I try to run alcohol free gas usually around 90- 93 octane

    It gives me confidence and I know it is better for the injectors and burns better

    If I cannot find Alcohol free I will run premium

    I use 93 octane exclusively don’t know if it makes the trike run any better or not but it does make me feel better using 93..! So in turn if it makes me feel better then it makes the trike feel better…..😁👍

    ​Our 2012 Triglide runs fine on regular, but I usually fill it with premium for the additional detergents that keep the injectors clean. You get no added performance from premium if your engine was not designed for it.

    Harley recommends 91 octane… But 91 doesn’t exist out here so I use 93 exclusively..

    non-ethanol 90 octane in the trike, going on 7 years now in different Harleys with no problems, when we're travelling, 93 octane.

    When possable it’s 91 no meth/ethanol. Yes I feel a difference. It’s like crown royal or Heaven Hill.

    The corn gas burns too fast to produce the same BTU that the non corn gas even @ a lower octane rating

    It's the addition of the alcohol that lowers the BTU content of the gaso. The gasoline BTU content of gaso. never changes no matter whether you're burning regular, the middle grade, or premium.
