Actually, you would get better power at Higher elevations with the lower Octanes. For the most power and highest fuel mileage, run the lowest Octane as long as you don't have Detonation or pre ignition. Basically higher Octane fuel burns slower, slower flame front and is harder to ignite than lower Octane. 'Premium' is not a 'better' or higher quality fuel than regular. The higher elevation and the cooler the weather, the lower the Octane requirements for optimal performance, both power and mileage. This only holds true for naturally asperated engines, ie no forced induction, super charger or other wise.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have a 2021 RTL new this spring. I put over 15000 miles on it this summer. I went from Maine to Tennessee, to NY, to NH all different trips. I also rode every weekend when home around Maine. It never left me stranded. My NY trip was even solo. I'm as confident in the Spyder's reliability as any other vehicle.
