I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

we used to be able to get 93 at a Sinclair station, but i havent seen one of those in a while either... now the highest is 91. luckily my bike, like me, is not picky...

98 octane in most of the rest of the world is the same as 93 octane here in the U.S.  We just use a different rating system.  

And unless your sohc4's engine has been modified for higher compression or has a large amount of carbon build-up in the combustion chamber, 87 octane is all it needs and won't benefit from any higher.  

If you use Seafoam, you will not get that nasty carbon buildup. ;D If you bikes runs so good you get an erection lasting more than four hours, seek medical attention, or call an Escort service. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just met a guy that has 65 collector cars. He uses race gas and seafoam in all of them.

well, I'd never use gasohol in a collector... (if I could help it...)

Most people I have heard of use 1/3 to 1/2 a can to a tank.
I'm more on the 1/3 can side.

use a 3 ounces, every tank.  Much less is too little to be effective.  I guess you could argue as to whether or not even 3 ounce/tank is effective enough.  I see it this way: I'd rather spend an extra dollar per tank and have some small assurance that I won't have to clean my carbs for a little while, than not do it and worry.  I would probably get the same efficacy by getting an Rx for xanax, but this is cheaper :D
