Using higher octane fuel than the engine is designed for or needs is a waste of money and can actually DECREASE power. A couple of guys over at zrxoa have done dyno runs with different octanes of fuel in the same bike to confirm this.
But to the side issue, If I put mothballs in the tank of my truck, will I kill moths as I drive? If it would kill mosquitoes too, I'd do it for sure!

Naphthalene WILL NOT increase octane of modern fuels by more than a fraction of a %. It however is a complex energy dense hydrocarbon. I am supplying you with results which I have achieved, and with the cooperation with Argonne engineers. What you do with this information (or not do) is up to you. All I know is that it saves me about 20% in real $s on fuel costs on my cars. That is all I require to know. I do NOT run it in my bike because fuel cost is not an issue at 40+ mpg. Yes if used in access Naphthalene will burn very dirty if used in over abundance. This over abundance is about 10x or more of what I am using. The old formula when octane of motor fuel was about 40 octane was about 12 balls/Gal of gas. This raised the octane rating by about 50%, to about 60 octane. Xylene and Toluene however will raise octane by quite a bit on even modern fuels. If you read the entire post, that is where this discussion came from. I only answered the comment about "Moth Balls" and how I use them and for what purpose, and how it works for me. If you have not done any real tests your selves and have only opinions
well you know what they say about opinions. I know what I know because of the actual testing which I have personally done. Take it or leave it.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :whistle:
I thought it was ok to offer an opinion...
Peace.

You release all the neutered moths back into the wild which will help control the moth population and help them improve the decor of their nests....Well, I've been waiting for it, but I guess no one's going to ask...

1) It does something to the gas mix to make it burn more completely.
2) The napthalene itself is some kind of energy dense substance that burns and imparts energy.
3) napthalene and gas form a new compound which has a higher energy density.
With it being used for decades, I would have thought chemists would have figured this out by now.
