I'm not getting involved with the low/high debate here, other than to say I'm confused about one thing not really tied to Savages.
I read somewhere on site that maybe higher octane would be good in hotter climes in summer (where I am). however on one of those "how you can weather out the winter" features they do on local news when there isn't any real news they suggested using higher octane in the colder weather we get for the odd few days in the winter here.
so who is right on that one - do water cooled vehicles such as cars need higher octane in low temps & air cooled need higher octane in higher temps or what?
OK - I will say sometimes I put lower octane in Savage, sometimes higher - no real reason but for extra few cents I think what the hey (always higher in BMW - they say to do it - & always lower in little Suzuki Samurai "jeep" I drive)
sometimes I remember to put some fuel additive in (not expensive - it came in big bottle) both the Savage & Samurai (it is an '87).
Incidently - how many people ride a two wheeled & drive a four wheeled Suzuki, both names starting with S?
