what is the best fuel for atv?
Well i was wondering what is the best octane fuel used in a atv and why. 87,89,or 91. any name brand gas. what about little country store. if the gas has contaminants in it will that have a bad effect on performance. is the more expensive better. should a person be more particular about where or what he puts in the tank. thanks

It's amazing how so many people believe such bull about gasoline.
Run the lowest octane in your machine that does not pre-detonate. For every single production atv mass produced in the USA this will be 87 octane with the exception of the yfz, gas gas, and a few 2 strokes.
The gas will not make your engine run cooler, or hotter. Nor will you gain anything by running a higher octane than your compression ratio determines you NEED. You may even lose performance by running higher octane fuels.
Running higher octane to "be on the safe side" is ignorant. Run what works and nothing higher or lower. You wouldnt jet the quad way too high to "be on the safe side" so dont run 5+ octane points higher for that reason.
