When I ran the Stock Motor I would use Reg Pump Gas why put octane boost and have the extra cost if you dont have to.

I now running a stroker motor I tryed to use reg gas It dont like it so I now using The higher octain better Pump Gas But Still pump Gas with a 10.7 to 1 motor.

If dont knock why if a street car or when I had my race bike half a tank of High Octain race gas At todays price I think $8.00+a gallon and half a tank of pump gas.

Just keep a couple bottles of Octain boost in the car just in case your on a trip and cant find any race gas.

What I can remember Octain boost can turn your plugs a funny color so remember that when you do plug readings I think it was orange/red color.

You can run Avation gas but I heard other have burned holes in there piston I dont know if there running straight Av gas of mixed but then again this when I use to ride race bikes back in the day before you could buy race gas at the bike stores in a can.

I Love the Sweet smell Castor oil two stroke mix in the morning.
