Most of the ride was back roads around my house and some interstate I would say 80 % back roads to 20 % interstate. It was hot between 90 and 97 degrees most of the day.
I did not baby it but I did not try to make it ping I am not going to do that on purpose to my bike. I will not lie and say it ran better or cooler but I will say it ran the same and that was what I was hoping for. I could not find anything all all that made me think this might be a mistake, It started fine pulled the hills find made one 25 mile run at 85 on the interstate just fine. I ended up filling up twice and putting on 330 miles today. So until I see a reason to go back I am sticking with Chevron or Shell 87
Thanks for the test info, bacon. Please post if you notice any changes.
