Stick a nitrous bottle on for good measure?

Mine seems crisper and more eager on the better fuel. As a result I try and fill up with the highest octane I can get. Especially good in the winter when i don't use the bike as much. Seems to maintain a good enough octane whereas the 95 Ron drops off too low when left for a few weeks in the tank and the bike runs badly until I get some fresh in.

Interesting, I was wondering whether to fill it up with high octane or empty it completely.
