Have no choice in NY unless your going with racing gas.... Which there is no need for on the 14R. Just trying to use a descent quality 90 or better octane....

87 with 10% has been fine in my car and the truck before that. 91 doesnt have it and i run that for the octane in the bike. i would run e85 if i could get it. lots more alcohol in that

10% ethanol isn't an issue as long as the bike doesn't sit forever and the fuel gets old. If you're riding it, it will be fine.

I've found you lose a little power and efficiency/mpg w/the 10%. I don't like it. There's one Sunoco station that still offers no ethanol here locally. I always try to fill up there.
