I put Octane 94 in my RCF (no ethanol) and definitely I feel a difference in throttle response and midrange torque delivery compared to Octane 91. It also makes sense considering the very high compression of the engine, higher Octane resists heat better than lower Octane fuel upon compression in the cylinders.

Bikes I know, Japanese Cars I don't. No, not going to be Tracking it. Just for kicks.
(I deleted the first Bullet since it was just Regular 93 Octane w Ethanol)

The following Sunoco fuels are available at the North Paddock fuel island for credit card purchase only:
  • 98-octane (260 GTX) unleaded which is Ethanol Free. For off-road and racing applications only.
    • 100-octane unleaded which may contain up to 10% Ethanol.
      • 110-octane leaded which is Ethanol Free. For off-road and racing applications only.
Perhaps even using Half a Tank - Hurt, Harm, Etc?
Leaded fuel NO BUENO !!!!!
That will mess up your O2 sensors and Cats.
