because euro people dont have ethanol , they also receive a different tune from factory ,

get hondata and use ethanol
So, we’re told not to exceed 10% ethanol because...we can’t get ethanol?

I use Shell top tier 93 or Cosco's 93 as it's also top tier gas in my 2019 CTR When I put away my 78 911 SC for long periods of time I put ethanol free gas and battery minder.

Minimum I will use is 95 octane but usually use Shell V Power 98 octane for me. In the UK. Always premium fuel.

We only have 87, 89, or 93 at the gas stations, so I go with 93. I'm used to it after having to run it in my 2009 Si.

Man I used Costco gas all the time in my Si. Then I tried it in my GSXR 1000 and it caused one of my injectors to get stuck. No way I'm putting that in my R.

I have only used Shell 93 not only in my Type R but also in my other car which is a 2006 Si that I bought brand new in June 2006. My Si has never had any other gas in it except Shell 93. It now has over 208,000 miles and the engine is still in excellent condition and still pulls just as strong as it ever did and I haven't ever had to do any engine work on it yet, except replacing spark plugs. I'm a big believer in Shell 93 gas and here's my oil report from last year for my 2006 Si : I believe a reason for my engine still being in excellent condition has to do a bit with using higher quality fuel, of course normal maintenance is important too and being a Honda I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's lasted this long :)

Second person to say it clogged an injector in their bike. Interesting

I use 100 RON (Greece/Europe), which is equivalent to US AKI 95. Very easy to find everywhere.
