    I don't take notes on this subject ..... in my area ( mid-Vt. ) the price difference is .80 +/- ., so if I buy say 4 gals. , that's $3.20, just about every time I buy gas, and this is usually 3 - 4 times per week during riding season .... that's about $11.20 per week ... and $45.00 per month .... and the season here is 7 mos. +/- ...= $313.60 ...... this will buy me 3 season ski passes, or some new equipment. I hope this puts it in perspective. ...... Mike

    Mike, you ride a lot more than I do. So yes, that's 3 ski passes or a sway bar's worth. Perspective is everything.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    Typical Can-Am States "Premium unleaded gasoline", yet they also state "87 pump octane minimum". Thinking Can-Am and their engineers wouldn't state 87 octane minimum if it was harmful to their product...


    Type Premium unleaded gasoline
    87 Pump Posted AKI (RON+MON)/2 Minimum octane
    92 RON
    91 Pump Posted AKI (RON+MON)/2
    Fuel - Refer to
    FUEL REQUIREMENTS
    Recommended octane
    95 RON
    Fuel tank capacity 27 L (7.1 U.S. gal.)

    Annnnnnnnnnd it's not ( harmful ) ..... 56,000 + miles on my 1330 and I accept that my performance is maybe 99.9 % of what it could be. ..... Mike
