We have it here in MD. I haven't noticed the bike running any differently. My mileage varies so much from different routes and different rides with different riders that I can't comment on the fuel consumption issue.

I run 92-93 (premium) all of the time. Partially this is because I've actually had pinging with lower grades. Power was noticeably down. I'm running a +4° advancer, but I noticed this before it was installed. The biggest reason is that I feel it doesn't varnish up as bad or leave as many deposits in the carbs. I used to always use Amoco Ultimate until BP ruined it.

Like Loco said, it's y money and I feel premium is best for my baby.

any gas with alcohol in it will dry up the rubber peices in carbs not designed to take alcohol.

Sure, but manufacturers have been designing their stuff to use E10 for years now.
