That’s interesting, I would have expected it to work better on the 91.
I shall investigate.

Fuel Quality and range.

I found some interesting results regarding octane rating and consumption on the way to and from the meet up.
91ron -220 kms to reserve.... exiting melbourne and to first fill up.
95ron- 265.............................. highway riding.
98ron- 285...............................highway riding.
I should get better range...if i  halve excess baggage...as well as replace valve guide seal which must play up with the fuel air mix...ditching the 5 ltrs of oil i carry due to this... will also lessen the load.
