Posh petrol would give better mpg if spark timing advanced. But then risks detonation on yobbo petrol.

been checking my notes books.... I did use shell v power on a number of occasions, but never noticed any difference.
my use of this petrol, was limited to occasional, and still do now, usually first full tank full when/ after a lengthly lay up, over winter type of thing. I just use as it 'might' help with any cleaning issues of carb internals etc. wether it worked or not, not sure, but not had any issues with carbs gumming up etc with this regime...
carbs balance annually, usually very little adjustment required, if any !!

Several? Or few? I've never noticed any improvement, from one petrol to another, on any of my bikes when I've been forced to use posh petrol. Just got the same expected mileage to a tank. We need Billywhizz to come along with his notebook in hand . He would also need a divvy which mysteriously developed the low mpg. I guess 3 of us are several. several

Shush, we'll not be able to live with knowing that CD can be right sometimes ! Check the choke plungers are all closing fully. Ps, took you long enough to check CD's pointer, or has the process of ignore CD indoctrination actually worked on you ?
