This article proves the article that I read wrong, or different
. This is odd... because they dyno'ed the bike in the mag. article I was refering too. Started with 87, went all the way to 97 with additives.
Now I have no idea who is right / wrong ???

you'll never see a ZO6. and as far as getting the "sweet stuff left behind in the hose", you're dreamin. that just doesn't happen. do you think with all the high tech this and that around that our gas pumps can't do a better job than that when distributing gas? I'm no expert on gas pumps which I've already stated, but I'm sure there are valves inside the pumps that regulate what grade of gas goes through the hose when it is chosen. believe what you want though. don't you think that gas station owners would complain to pump manufacturers if they were letting 1-2 gals. of premium through for the price of regular? seems to me that that would be a lot of lost revenue for station owners if that were the case as they'd be losing money on the premium gas. it's just not true and for anyone who believes that it is, well, you must be an optimist.

The vast majority of the consumer buys 87. So in the vast majority of the cases, the gas station owner is selling 2 gallons of 87 to the guy buying 93, not the other way around.
I have filled up my R1150R at stations with one hose and every damn time the bike pings like crazy because the 2 gallons of 87 dilutes the 93. Every single time! My bike certainly knows that there is 2 gallons of 87 going in the tank.
BTW, Iowa, I PM'd you a while back because I had a question. Did you ever get the PM?

what i meant was that you won't see them filling up at the local 7-11 at 6 am in the morning. maybe i should've said "it's not everyday you'll see one, if any at all". there really aren't that many being built and many are going to hardcore racers and collectors who never drive them or modify them to race.

I can't believe this post is still on point! If it was in the ninja section, our wondering minds probably would have shifted towards ***** by now. 
You know, something like this:
or this;
oh, don't forget this one:
Are our MINDS wondering yet?
