Do you guys put regular? Because the previous owner told me she puts 93 so I stick to 93. Here 93 is around $4.20.
How do you guys fill up? when I put the nozzle in and start pumping it stops me after 1 gallon. At that point I know I have 1 more gallon of space and carefully put 1 more gallon. Do you guys use same strategy? I fill up almost every 2 days & 100 miles and its always $8-$9 for me. Once it was close to $12

^ a stock bike will run happily on US grade 87 octane. If you have certain types of performance engine work or a BRT TIS ignition timer and are running more advanced timing a higher grade octane is recommended

If you have a moment, might be worth a call to the bureau of weights & measures in your county. It's possible your tank holds more than 5.1 gallons. It's much more likely that the pump is reading high.

I think you're onto something here, much more likely to be a scamming gas station.

I never ride past E
I look in the tank, see gas, keep riding, but something about the gauge staring at me saying E bothers me. So I fill it whenever Im between 160-180 miles I also sit on my bike and level it while Im filling it up

I was thinking the same thing. I have a high comp. engine in a Camaro. it has to run 93. I bought "93" once at a local station and it was detonating so bad I couldn't drive it home. Turns out the owner was having 87 pumped into the 93 tanks. Got his a** in a jam, I did.
