Cooler engine temps, more power, cheaper... just get an over-size tank and you're back to normal ride range. Race-gas sucks wang. I wouldn't touch that crap with a 10ft pole. Plus there are methanol tanks out on our dunes and if you get in a pinch you can fill up at those tanks, just carry some 2-stroke oil with ya in the camel-back. Its not the highest quality stuff in the world, but it would get you back to camp. My dune bike normally carries 6+ gallons and I can ride father than a stock bike on pump-gas.
