If you guys are racing, I would like to participate with my bicycle - stripes and all that.

Brite, just fuel up with Premium and save some dough. Might help in these Mad-off days. If you try too hard there is the risk of the KIA losing it's stripes. Might just peel off due to wind resistance. There is also the risk of losing warranty (if it got any!) if you fuel up with something that was not recommended by the Koreans.
