Like most people here, we also exclusively use Optimax. On one occasion we were unable to find a Shell petrol station, so had to fill up with Premium Unleaded from another petrol company (can't remember if it was Mobil, Ampol or someone else!). Anyhow, Gary found that the bike didn't perform as well. There was a definite drop in power. Not sure if there was any change to fuel consumption though.
I would be interested to know if those people getting bad fuel consumption are always two-up or if they are, ahem, heavy. The reason I ask is that I very rarely let Gary go anywhere without me!! Therefore, the total weight our Busa has to carry around most of the time would be close to 145 kilos. The best we have been able to get out of a tank so far is about 270km.
