Title: Is it my imagination or .........
Post by: Chris0381 on July 19, 2014, 10:32:49 AM
Is it my imagination or does the scooter perform better right after a good fill up? Or did I just get a batch of good gas and have been running bad gas the previous fillup. Just seemed that way yesterday after filling up at a Sunoco station with their super duper premium.

If you normally fill up w/ regular the Premium will be a big boost. Yes you can feel the difference.

I like that Cold beer analogy...

Like with a car, it takes forever to get down to half a talk, but once there you can almost watch the gas gauge drop.

I love the feeling as I ride off the gas station having paid $4,50 for a fill up as opposed to $43 for my car.

I've ridden carburated and air cooled, fuel injected and air cooled, and fuel injected and liquid cooled. They all ran a bit more peppy after a finish filling up. I always use premium from pumps that have a hose just for premium. And most of the time get ethenol free premium.

Whoa Nelly!!!
 A service station for Beer! Keg refills. Tap services like re-knobing/wash, wax,detailing.
 Kimura can run the franchise, B&L will train all the mechanics, Sarge can wear his Daisy Dukes/wife beater "T", and do that sign spinning thingy out front.

We might not have to overthrow anything. Just get them all drunk, and do whatever we want...
This is where forums truly shine. Brilliant!

I figured this out a little while ago. We have NO premium available w/ out ethanol where I live.
The choice is watered down premium (ethanol) or regular with or without.
Premium with eth is better than regular with eth (mileage/cleaner burning) but premium, and regular Non eth. give the same mileage just more engine deposits in the regular w/ eth.

All they are doing is making larger profits on the watered down gasoline, and reducing the mileage we get.
We are buying more fuel, at a higher cost.
 Sound like an accident to anyone?

It's Much better than frog baseball or giant spider PingPong!

I'm gonna post a thread on Money in the general section. Perhaps that will explain why I am so F'd up. The sh** we all have to live with is simply wrong from the jump.

Ooooh.... you never mentioned rats before! Maybe better than frogs/spiders, as I bet they could be trained to haul kegs and tap the new ones ?

Try to keep up w/ me here Sis.

I'm starting a collection of scoots to convert into Rat Bikes. Not rat Bites!  I have enough fang holes in me for a life time of pleasure.

I'm with you 100%  Where I live we only have one gas station that has separate hoses for the different grades.  I always go there and fill with premium (in the new xciting 250 it only costs me around $16 give or take a few cents).  but, if I'm on the road and it's a place with only one hose, I just get regular, because I'm not going to pay premium price when the first gallon is going to be whatever the person before me got.

I gotcha! I was , actually, bitten by a rat (in my sleep ) when I was a baby. Lived on a lake...it came in through the plumbing (a plate on the wall was loose) and chewed the tip of my pinkie off in my crib. Had a six month old kitten that killed it.. love cats, now !


Rat bikes are cool, though !

Count me in!  I just threw them in the wash to tighten them up a little.  BUT, I want a royalty....none of this minimum wage bullsh*%!  My wife always had an idea of an ice cream type truck that went around the neighborhoods and served shots to the parents.  Maybe we could find and old Cushman with the delivery bed on the back and try it out.   I'd ask for her opinion on it....but she's at her meeting right now.  Two more and she gets the bumper sticker for her car.
