The slower burning charectoristics of premium gas is a plus for any internal combustion engine - think about it!!!
A fuel's laminar flame speed is a function of chemistry (specifically H/C bonding) not octane rating .

but increasing the octane in a specific fuel acts to resist combustion from sources other than the spark plug(compression, hot spots, etc) making it more difficult to ignite.

[Bmy wifes TTR225 calls for "unleaded gasoline" meaning 87 octane, [/B]

Is there any advantage to using higher octane fuel if the motor runs fine on lower octane? Gas manufactures claim increased performance and milage from additives but it seems they are aimed at fuel injectors. I have noticed differences in my bikes power and milage when using higher octane fuels wich seems to sugest higher energy density of the fuel, is this just BS

. Highly oxygenated fuels need more fuel to attain a chemically correct air fuel ratio, so mileage tends to suffer as a result.

I dont follow, is higher octane fuel more highly oxygenate? This last term seems to contradict what you said about higher octane haveing oxegenators and getting better milage or am I confused by the terms?

So it would behoove us to run the lowest octane we can in our bikes with out predetonation.
