It's a high octane unleaded fuel with a 98 octane rating. It is advertised to improve power, keep your engine cleaner, and improve fuel economy. Big statement. Well it works, I first tried it in my car with immediate results. Because of the fuel being of a higher value you don't need to use as much for the same power output if you ride/drive the same way. It costs an extra 5 to 6 cents at the pump, but giving me more km per tank. I now get up 70 /80 km extra per tank (car), so it works out that I'm saving money. This gives me good reason to run y2kblue on it. Even if i don't get more km out of the bike i know it has to be better for the engine. 21 lts per tank at 6 cents more =$1.26 not much to pay for a bike that cost $15900 in OZ. No knocks
