The question is, what octane does the motorcycle require?
If it needs 92 or 93, and you mix 87 and 93, you are probably not meeting the requirement. That could damage the engine due to pinging.
Lower Octane means a more powerful and hotter explosion. Octane ratings vary, usually due to stroke time or compression ratios which increase the temperature of the air in the cylinder and pre-ignites the gas mixture (pinging), sometimes it has to do with aluminum in the head. If your bike manual asks for 92, put in 92.
Lower Octane = More powerful explosion, very short burn time, hotter burn
High Octane = Weaker and slower explosion, colder burn.
Putting higher octane fuel in a lower octane engine usually results in poor perfromance because the power stroke has finished while the fuel is still burning.

What kind of gasoline to use on 1999 Honda CR250?
Where I live we have 3 grades of pump gas with the octane being 87/91/93. It is good to run a higher octane in your bike, however, if you are putting the gas in your bike and then using it, 87 octane will not hurt your machine. 87 octane hurts your bike if it sits for too long. If you plan on letting your bike sit for more than a week, you definitely want 93 or higher. If you are going to let it sit all winter without riding, you want to either drain the tank and run the gas out of the carb or mix some of the STA-BIL fuel stabilizer with your gas.

Can diesel or biodiesel be used in kerosene space heaters?
Yes! Diesel, kerosene and gasoline are really the same thing except that they have different octanes. Diesel is the lowest refined gas then kerosene then your different octanes of gas. So, to make the octane the same as kerosene you simply mix the right amount of gas with diesel and voila, you have kerosene. I think u can use a lower octane than kerosene but NEVER put anything of a higher octane than kerosene! Yes!
