What brand and grade of gasoline

merri1 · 08-25-2009, 07:30 PM

I've owned my '09 Nomad for 6 weeks now and have been using 93 octane at every fill up. I have almost 3500 miles on it.

Yesterday I filled up with Shell mid-grade - 89 octane. The bike runs fine and it actually seems to be getting a bit more gas mileage. I keep the A/B switch to MPG all the time and I reset it and the trip odometer at every fill up. When I got home today, 142 miles, the MPG read 39.9.

Has anyone else used any other grade, besides Premium, in their Nomad?
