High octane gas for 110F+ blistering summers?
#1
It's gotten so hot in the late afternoons, my thighs get baked to death as I get stuck in gridlock that stretches for miles and miles when I'm coming home from a full day's ride. I'm not going to lie....I worry alot when I find myself stuck in traffic and the ambient temps are in the triple digits. It used to not be this way, gridlock that is, but this city of mine's one of the top 10 mega-growth cities in all of the country. They're trying to expand hwys and streets everywhere, and that itself causes most of the gridlock.

On air cooled motors, I've heard that it's more beneficial to run 93 oct (vs. 87), which aids in reducing preignition when sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and thus reducing engine temps.

True, or myth?
