Another point:  To get better fuel at the "one nozzle fits all fuel grades" 
gas stations when riding with a group, be sure to pull in behind someone else 
filling "supreme", as they most probably got a hose full of "regular 
unleaded" before the good stuff came out.  With the small capacity of a 
motorcycle tank, you really get ripped off when going to those kind of gas 
stations.  I avoid them if possible, if not, hopefully a sportscar or another 
bike is filling with supreme and I pull behind them.

As I was saying, my California '99 Sprint ST seems to run just as well on 87 
octane (cheap) as on 89 (intermediate) or 92 (expensive). Is this because the 
Sagem system is so great it compensates for the deficiencies of the cheap 
stuff? Am I actually hurting the bike with the 87 octane, and because it's 
English, it's too polite to complain?
