beats me. i'm sure each company has their own formulation of additives to clean, lubricate, and whatnot, some that probably work better than others on any given engine. i've stuck to Shell and Petro-Canada for my fuel needs, since they're close by and my bike seems to work better with them than with Esso. it ran really poorly on Ultramar and Sunoco stuff. obviously, it's all in the additives, so pick the ones that feel right in your bike and go with that. in my car, on the other hand, i had surprisingly good luck with MacEwen's ethanol blend stuff.
as for "post links to back up my stuff" - go read stuff on Wiki, or send a question to Shell. i've learned this stuff over quite some time, so i really don't feel like scouring the web for links for you. put in some effort to educate yourself, m'kay?
maybe do a search on "octane" and "gasoline" and "carbon" and see what you come up with.
