jeremyshee01 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Needing knowledge on just what the title says. Went to some dirt drags this weekend and had a guy tell me alcohol was cheaper ( by far) than race gas. If this is true why would people run 110 or whatever? Is there a difference in gas mileage? Is there any more wear and tear on a motor with one or another? Anything else one should consider before deciding on what to run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yes, alcohol is cheaper per a gallon than most race fuels. Yes there is a difference in gas mileage. There can be more wear and tear. Purging. Shelf life. Availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Availability. #1 is self explanatory. #2- you will burn twice the alcohol. #3- not sure, but you have to have good compatible oil for your premix. #4- You have to drain and purge the alcohol from the bike before putting it away. #5- Alcohol likes to absorb water when it sits around.

n2otoofast4u Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Everyone will give you different answers. To me, the pros far outweigh the cons. I only purged my junk at end of season, as do lots of my buddies with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk if its a trail bike/ play bike (which i think it is because ive seen him post about his setup before) pump gas it, the gains between pump and race fuel arent really going to justify the cost of it. Unless you dont mind paying over twice as much for gas everytime plus more oil then go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
