Thats what I use. 93 helps clean the crap out of the carbs and carbon out of the engine cause it burns hotter and faster. I always run 93 in both my cars and my bike. In my opinion the cheaper crap helps create the just in the injectors and on top of pistons and what not.

95 (not a typo, thank you kindly) is $3.67 right now..  It doesnt make my bikes or cars run any better..

If they sold that around here I would probably put it in my stuff. Of course my car is a track/street racer....

Theres about to be a third 900rr when i get back from afghanistan in july.

From what ive been told about the gas is that lower octane gas actually creates more horsepower than higher octane gas. and that u wont notice much differnce between the two, higher octane gas has more of an effect on cars because they have the knock sensors. Some one on this site told  me about that a while back. i cant remember who it was though.
