It absolutely baffles me how many people, despite all the excellent advice they get from those with more knowledge and backed up by scientific evidence, hold on to their beliefs no matter what, in this case that high octane gas in a low compression engine (like in the Ninja 250) is better than regular gas, and that higher octane fuel has more additives to keep the engine clean, etc, etc. It's just like with climate change, global warming, evolution, taxing the rich will destroy jobs, tax cuts to the wealthy and big corporations will benefit the middle and lower class, corporations are people, no ATGATT is freedom of choice, etc, etc, etc.
Use what you want, believe what you want, despite what you are told. My advice - do some reading, like the 376 posts in this thread or on the internet and get informed, instead of just espousing an opinion or anecdotal story that has no validity or merit. It's time for this thread to die an aged death.
