Anybody with half a brain and has a vehicle whose requirement is 87 octane, like my 4 previous bikes, and every cage I ever owned except the Prelude.

Try again, kids.
You're right.

Except the CEO gets bonuses that, until recently, weren't recorded in a visible way. They receive stocks at their optioned value, and their bonuses given in cash are typically significantly higher than their annual salary.

I do, and have never experienced any issues doing so. I put 87 in my truck ('cage' for those who care to call it so) too.

Ahh, you're one of those, Da'Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, I used to swear by Sunoco Ultra 94 in my 01 gix6, got some friendly advice and switched to 87, bike was much more responsive, yes it was very noticable.
