Do I need Premium?

I just put a new Malossi 70cc kit on my honda PA50II, it says in the instructions to use premium gas in it. I don't really want to pay the extra money to buy premium gas if i don't need to. Will it knock if i don't use premium? Is there any other advantage to running premium?

PS- the box says that the compression ratio on the new cylinder is 10.5:1 I know that that is the biggest factor in the decision. I thought that it was pretty cool that it increased the compression, maybe they all do that, but I've never owned a moped before this so I wouldn't know.

premium gas < a new kit

Re: Do I need Premium?

I know gas is expensive, but geez, it's a moped. do as the instructions suggest.

Re: Do I need Premium?

Well it's not so much the fact that its so expensive, but it's the fact that the day before I got the kit I bought five gallons of regular gas and I don't have a car so I will just have a five gallon container of gas and the only thing for me to use it on is the lawn mower- I mean I don't really mind mowing the lawn, but I don't like it THAT much.

Do you care about your ped?

I suggest feeding it what it deserves.

Re: Do I need Premium?

wait untill it goes to 5 bucks a gallon and sell it to your moped buddys for 4.50!

they will love it and you will git rid of your unleaded water... i mean gas!

NICE

Re: Do I need Premium?

Try it with regular gas, if it pings and runs crappy then buy premium from then on. It will be obvious if you are running to low octane for your compression and your not gonna wreck it finding out.

Re: Do I need Premium?

and the pumps at gas stations, carry 1 gallon of whatever the last person was using so if u ever fill up u will get what the last person was using not what u pay for unless if u buy more than one gallon at a time
