So, finally someone proved it! Everyone keeps telling me it's bull..
High octane fuel releases more power!
I've been "feeling" it on all my bikes and cars for several years. It's even pretty noticable the gf's 105 bhp BMW 316. I'm always filling the highest octane fuel awailable on all my vehicles.
So, the 2009 August issue of "Performance Bikes" tested a 2009 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 on the dyno with different types of fuel. The difference was a staggering 4 bhp on top in favor of the highest octane fuel. But, there was also a significant gain through the entire rev-range.
Oh, and btw.. they rated the rear damper too stiff on the RSV4.. hehe.. toldya! The brits want softie bikes.
