At my local texaco I can get 100 octane unleaded racing fuel for $4.15, 110 leaded racing fuel for $4.00, or 93 octane ethanol free unleaded for $1.89.
I have a 01yz250 2 stroke and use amsoil 2000 racing pre-mix and ride mostly supercross and motocross tracks.
Here are some question for you all. 1. What is the difference between leaded and unleaded...as far as how it makes your engine run (duh-there is lead in it). Is it bad for your engine? 2. I have heard 2 separate ideas about gas with or without ethanol. I heard that you don't want ethanol because it can cause detonation. Another said it is good to have ethanol because it "oxygenates" and makes your bike run better. At the pump they say that the non-oxygenated ethanol free is for motorcycles, boats and other high reving engines. What's the real story on ethanol free gas? Does racing gas have ethanol in it? 3. Of the gases I listed at the top, which would be better the 100 unleaded or 110 leaded?
Thanks for helping setting me straight on the right gas.
