Hey folks..it's been awhile since i've posted here and was thinking of you all as i rode Oren out to a beach NA meeting this morning to pick up my 18month keytag for Clean and Sober..Oren hasnt been starting all that spiffy these days and just for gits and shiggles i went ahead and filled up with Cheveron 93 Octane after dumping whole bottle of STP concentrated FI cleaner in the empty tank and viola..what a difference..havent even burnt 1/4 tank yet and Orens right back to her snotty super responsive self.
I've always ran 87 in her but being an '03 GenI i can recall a time when i rode everyday (as opposed too 1-3 times a weeks these days..which is why i dumped in the STP FI Cleaner) that she was finely tuned and super responsive running 87 (like she was today) but...even with my vehicles i'm noticing that the fuel these days seems to be lacking..just wasnt getting the same punch out of Oren or my Titan P/U...and after todays experience i believe it's the expensive stuff for them both from here on out..they run better and it seems i get a small return on mpg so..i guess it comes close to panning out in the end..checked all the usual suspects first..i had just installed a new set of plugs a few months back..cleaned my BMC Race A/F..but still started sluggish..but somewhere's between the High Test Fuel and STP FI cleaner she's back to firing up at a tap of the starter button, idle has cleaned up nice and stable like and i dare say even slighty elevated and Orens singing that oh so sweet song again on accel.
Anyways..lifes good..and this mornings run to the beach saw me gaining a rejuvinated appreciation for riding Oren..hope all's well with ya'll and L8R, Bill.
