You are way ahead running a tank full of a strong fuel system cleaner (like Chevron Techron Concentrate - 1oz per gal) once every season than buying Premium gas thinking it's keeping the engine cleaner.
I can't worry about what I pay per gallon for fuel for a motorcycle that "sips" it's drink anymore that I lose sleep over what to do with 1/2 a can of brake fluid. Hell, I paid over $400.00 for my Yoshimura mufflers do you think I give a zit about a few gallons of gasoline? I will say that I have experienced greater gas mileage with premium fuel though.
