ummm ... yer that's a pretty big load of speculation right there there's tonnes of additives in 91octane petrol as well and no one ever complains about it losing it RON/MON (which it does). Yes 98 will drop some octane rating, as well as some other properties might change (flash point etc) and that *might* make it more difficult to start, or might make you lose a tiny percentage of your overal performance but i really wouldn't advise chucking petrol out after 3-6 weeks ..... unless it's time to do the weedingmike-s wrote:Oh and r.e. 98ron, theres all kindsa of other chemicals in there as well as pure petrol, so who knows how they'd adversely affect your bikes performance, once it gets to that point it's only useful for putting together with premix for a lawnmower or to use as an effective weedkiller (just add matches).
Also if you've left the bike for 3-6 weeks, it's approaching the end of its shelf life, that is if it was taken reasonably quickly from the refinery to the service station.
Remember with petrol, if in doubt, throw it out.
