minus-squarejanus2@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoI use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it’s got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it’s such a small engine But reading this thread I’m now thinking maybe I shouldn’t do this?
