I know it's old, but the superbike of the seventies, the Kawasaki H2-750 three cylinder two-stroke (one of which i own) has shattering performance and was unequalled by a 750cc bike until well into the eighties.
All on a measly 7:1 compression ratio.

I haven't tried the G6E on premium yet on a long trip. By the time our holidays come around in August the engine will have a few more kilometers on it and we might try it then to see if there's any noticeable difference. It'd want to be good though for the extra price.

I honestly do not see the point in this analogy considering the FG's I6 has a 10.3:1 compression ratio and that 2 stroke motors are almost legislated out of existence. Not to mention it is a modern 4 stroke engine with engine management.

One tank of 98RON in a modern car won't reveal much change or any at all, there needs to be a sustained use of the fuel to derive any benefit from it and I think it was proven by one of the motoring outlets that the economy gains from using PULP in a modern engine is offset by the extra cost of the fuel. So in terms of your hip pocket, it is roughly the same.
