If you have the money C12 is a good all around fuel. This winter when I get my head re-worked it will still be made to run on pump gas. Running $8-$10 fuel a gallon and driving 30 minutes each way to get it gets costly real quick. haha my cousin has to do it in for his crf. Plus it sucks if you don't have a race fuel and want to go on a spur of the moment ride.

Haha don't ride much?

If I'm riding how I like to I usually go through about 5 or so gallons a week. Just on race day I burn about 3/4's of a 2 gallon tank.

vp c12 mixed 50/50 with 91/92 octane and your engine will run cooler and at the sametime reduce your fuel cost.

make sure after milling the head and switching fuel to read your plugs.
