Price of Alky?

[volvo63']

As stated in the title, about what price on average does alky run these days?

[Surfrjag]

Depends where you are.. 5 a gallon here..

In Kansas city I buy it for $3.50 a gallon by the gallon. A drum is cheaper.

I was just wandering, since it is so cheap, why do more people run 93, 104, 110 than alky. I know that it has lots of benefits, is it just harder on the motors or something?

 

If it didn't have that many downsides I might use it in my trail banshee. I am currently paying 6.50 a gallon for vp 104.

You burn about two times the amount of fuel with alcohol. But, you gain horsepower.

Would it be okay to run it in a single carb bike, or should I stick with VP 104 octane.

My opinion, unless you're doing some sort of racing, stay on gas. On a single carb setup, defiantly stay on gas.

You can't leave alcohol sitting in your bike after riding like you can with gas. Each day of riding you need to purge with gas afterwards.

lowest i got a drum for was 85. average is 130-150 highest was m-1 at 210 a drum.

 

set the bike up to run on pump gas. single carb you probably dont need that much powa anyways. race drag etc i personally feel should be on alky.
