[St] 410 and Idaho fuel additives

["Young, Mike" <myoung@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ST ran like a dream the whole trip. Never thought about the additive, bu=
t IIRC they only do it November through spring. 
I rode 410 in July '06. It was all torn up with a paving project east of Par=
adise, and a royal pain in the arse. Beautiful ride otherwise. I highly reco=
mmended it if you can beat the snow. (An iffy proposition as of today; freez=
ing levels tonight dropping to about 4000 feet in the Cascade passes, and su=
fficient moisture in the pipeline to make for a sloppy weekend.) Watch for l=
eaves falling on the roadway this time of year, it's pretty well sheltered b=
y the typical Cascade mix of Alder, Cottonwood, Maple, Cedar, Fir and Spruce=
. Watch for deer and elk this time of year, esp, at night. They are starting=
 to move down out of the high meadows. Slow down a few miles east of Enumcla=
w; the SP are known to range out that far.

Subject: Re: [St] Your fueling yourself (and road trip report..long)

First, you are lucky your wife will put up with the solo driving while 
you have all the fun.

Second, I recently heard that the gas in ID had an additive in it (maybe 
a blend of ethanol?) that was hard on gas mileage - you apparently 
didn't have that problem.  The report came from an HD rider and maybe 
their engines are not smart enough to handle the additive. Did you 
notice anything "funny" about the ID gas?

Last, what do liSTers from the NorthWet know about SR410 on the West 
side of Rainer?  I might head out that way in a couple of days and see 
whats what (assuming it doesn't snow too much this weekend).

Thanks for the report.
