Can I run 100 octane in my motorcycle?
As a general rule octane rating has nothing to do with energy and only its resistance to burning instead of exploding – as pointed out above. PUtting 100 in your tank for one fill out of 4 will do nothing to your bike at all.
Can you run airplane fuel in a motorcycle?
Yes. A drawback is that 100LL is leaded fuel, therefore your plug and cylinder will be prone to lead deposits.
What octane gas should I use in my motorcycle?
So what kind of gas do motorcycles use? The kind of gas motorcycles should use is ethanol-free higher octane gasoline (no less than a 91 rating). Motorcycles are considered to have high compression engines which is something that requires high octane.
Why do sportbikes use high octane fuel?
It is the compression Ratio of the engine which determines the Octane Rating of the fuel, depending upon the Compression ratio of the engine the fuel required could be high or low octane. A higher compression ratio engine which is generally featured in the modern sportbikes require high octane fuel for efficient combustion and maximum power output.
What does the octane rating on a motorcycle mean?
The Octane Rating in simple terms can be understood as the numbers indicating the efficiency of the fuel to get ignited under pressure or when compressed. The higher the number the higher the tolerance of the fuel towards the compression. A fuel can be rated as low as 87 Octanes and considered as normal/ standard fuel.
Is it okay to run high octane race gas?
Most high octane race gas does this as well. The fuel will not hurt your bottom end. They are lubricated by oil in you put into your fuel. The fuel will not effect your oil mixture. Oil is miscible in gasoline. It mixes into evenly like vodka into cranberry juice.
Can a vintage car run on octane fuel?
Especially in a vintage performance car with high-compression pistons, running on fuel with the recommended octane, with a distributor timed perfectly to spec, it’s still possible for the engine to knock under load. Try rotating the distributor to retard the timing.

Can a normal car run on 100 octane fuel?
The octane rate only tells you the maximum compression ratio that fuel can tolerate before pre-ignition occurs. 1 million octane gasoline would contain no more power or energy than 90 Octane or even 50 Octane. Yes, you can use a higher octane fuel than that recommended for your car.
