    Ultimate4 $8 /gal

    MRX01 $16 - $17 /gal
    MR9 we are hearing $18-$20 /gal (the cool stuff is always the most )

    These are all the best performers VP sells.
    We just used the Ultimate4 - I assume that the MR9 can even achieve better results ...

    Once we pick up a fuel sponsor - we'll use the expensive stuff.

    The VP stuff works. I love Ultimate-4. I got first place with it!

    You can just pour in Ultimate-4 and your bike will go faster. But Ideally you want to go richer. What I did when running Ultimate4: 1 size bigger main jets and raised the needles 1 clip.

    Stock R6 motors works best when using 87-91 octane. I think Ultimate-4 is 87 octane. Do not use 100 octane stuff, your bike will lose power. If you do not believe me, take it to TK-Motorsport and put it on the dyno and you will see.

    Hmmm...

    I bet I can help with that

    I am a VP fuel dealer.

    Like rforsythe said, the fuel can get expensive for the ggod stuff. Well worth a weekend run, but probably not for daily commuting.

    Ahhh my main man with the fuel Brian from TK
    How you doing! best fuel in the world right here!
    I run the he good in my 600 *she ran perfect this weekend at Sandia*
    but i also run some in my GSXR 1K stock at Bandimere and i Killed Sean tatums times on his GSXR1K that is fully pipped and a BMC filter. I ran a 10.21 and hit the brakes and he ran a 10.43 wide open.

    Bring the fuel convo back. Oh yeah!
    Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
