I remember filling up the tank on my first bike for less then $10.
Where I grew up, it was only .30 per litre. Go figure where that is.

If you want full 100 octane race gas, they've got that too, although it won't really make a difference on a stock S2000.
The race gas isn't for the S

I actually mixed in a blend of around 96 octane to compare with 91 octane in the S..... the ODB logger said the 91 octane had more timing...

I just try to stay in 6th more on the highway. A lot less down shifting, and a few less vtec in 3rd over takes......

Other than that.... pretty normal.
