Hot Fuel Station List

Station Locations 

This page contains as many gas stations as I can locate. And location is accurate to the best of my knowledge. The list will be updated via your feedback and mine!

Before you fuel up - you should read this article on fuel and Octane ratings by Robin Tuluie for Motorcycle Online

And read this article courtesy of Allen Weiss.

Tip: if you are in very cold weather, be sure to keep your tank full. It helps prevent condensation from building in the tank.

Here's some octane info I saved off the big list.

Allen - Funny you mentioned this. I was just up in NH at BCM for their Valve
and Belt seminar yesterday (which was awesome - thanks Bruce !) and Bruce
was talking about the different fuels. He was mentioning how 87 octane on a
normal compression 900ss give the best performance. BCM had run dyno tests
using 87, 89, 91, 94 octane fuels and performance degraded as the octane
numbers went up. I think he attributed this to the additives that the high
octane fuels have to have in order to meet emission requirements... anyway,
he also talked about racing fuels and the fact that they don't contain these
additives and because of that burn VERY clean. So clean in fact that they
don't leave any protective fuel residue behind in the cylinder. Your normal
gas does not burn that clean as leaves a residue that will protect the
cylinder / piston from corrosion... Running race fuels in your street bike
leaves you vulnerable to this corrosion....

I only run the race fuels at track days... and just run 87 all the other
times.
