Need your insights regarding my gasoline options

[MercuryRetrograde]

So where I'm at, the only available gasoline options are 87 with ethanol and 89 with ethanol. There's another one called a 93 recreational fuel without ethanol in it. I just wanna ask if the latter is better if I want to leave my bike at the garage for a couple days? I'm going to a short vacation to my parents in Jersey and would love to know your input. As for me, I'm thinking no ethanol should do it because it's gonna attract less water. My bike is at around 72 mg more or less so the cost is not an issue. So far, 5 gallons take me like a month because I just take it out 2-3 days a week at around maximum of 65miles per trip. So, would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

I recommend that you store the fuel without ethanol because it makes the octane go bad faster. but that's just me. lets see if anyone else here has an advice

@MercuryRetrograde Oh, most of the R3 riders usually choose the 87 octaine one. other types of gasoline on the list aren't giving any performance benefit

93 recreational fuel without ethanol should be good since you don't ride very often right? ethanol free fuel can help keep things fresh and prevent issues. Enjoy your trip!

You're making a smart move by choosing ethanol-free fuel. It's definitely better for storage because it won't draw in moisture like ethanol can. Sticking with the 93 recreational fuel should help keep everything running smoothly and avoid any problems while your bike is parked. Have a great vacation,and your bike should be all set when you return

Hey, how did your holiday go?
I just want to add my two cents and go with what @pinKlocker and @R3Fanatic? said about going ethanol-free!
My buddy left his old Honda with regular ethanol blend in the tank for just over a week, and when he got back, it was running super rough.
The fuel had definitely gone bad, and he ended up having to drain the whole tank and clean out some gunk.
It was an unfortunate waste of time and money!

Basically you're right to think you should go with that 93 ethanol-free if you're going to leave your bike at the garage as you said. I don't know which one you picked since this post is like 2 months old. 93 ethanol-free gives you less chance of gunk and water buildup messing with your fuel system. It's a bit pricier, yes, but way worth it for storage and smooth starts when you're back.
