I did however, notice a slight drop in fuel economy compared to the 93. So the question - Is it worth an extra $3 a gallon for the boost? Of course that is a individual decision. I did not notice any ill effects to the machine (other than making me Jonesin' for some Bojangle's

I would like to thank BioWeapon for the chance to try their product.
You are very welcome! Ever since Barber we have been doing some more trials specifically designed to answer some of the questions riders have asked. The first question was mileage as you indicated. I know it is hard to judge mileage on the racetrack due to the enormous amount of variables, so we decided to test it out on the highway. I rode my YZF750 to Virginia and back last week doing 70mph the entire way. I managed to get 8% better mileage on the BioWeapon than the BP 93 octane I came home on. This is not enough testing to prove a result, but I assure you that there will be much more testing to come. Secondly, riders wanted to know about dyno tuning for BioWeapon specifically. We formulated our fuel to be a "no retune" replacement for 93 octane pump gas, and are very happy with the average of 4% horsepower gain we get by just pouring it in. Pitzer and I did go back to Seth Starnes this past Saturday and had him retune the power commanders on my ZX10 and DooDoo's GSXR750. The final result was 6% gain in horsepower over pump gas. I have attached a shot of my dyno sheet showing the run on BioWeapon after the retuning. My bike makes 162hp on pump gas, 166hp on BioWeapon without a tune and 173hp after retuning.
Here is 93 vs bioweapon without retune

-------------ONE LAST NOTE----------------
As requested by many technical riders who are in the know about fuel, we sent samples to an independent laboratory for some very expensive testing. We will be posting the lab results this week. Data will include the following...
Distillation @ 10%, 50%, 90%, E.P ºF
Reid Vapor Pressure
Research Method Octane Number
Motor Method Octane Number
Oxidation Stability
Specific Gravity @ 60ºF
