Bought the bike, now what should I do about fuel?

I once heard a customer asking Toddy the same question at his shop, as unleaded was being withdrawn, he scratched his head a bit, then dressed his chin, and replied
"good idea to put some in the tank"

Yes I do refer to modern times! Last time I went through LA (1999) there was a orange/brown fug over the city.
I am not sure if the legislation worked?
 
One of the highest vehicle densities in the world.
Just think what it would have been like without the emissions regulations.
 
Bet they're not belching out fumes and hydrocarbons like a V8 infested city like LA.
 
Thanks all.  Looking forward to picking it up on Saturday and riding back home to Bromsgrove.  Gotta re-prog my brain for that right foot gear change though!  Can't be any worse than the right and left indicator switches on my GS being on different ends of the bars. Will hopefully make a meet at some point, but on a bit of a tight schedule this Sat.
 
The emission regulations did work. Back in the 1960's the air here in California was much worse than today. Los Angeles does not produce a lot of smog compared to other cities but due to the mountains east of the city it can't leave and just sits here.
 
We have a similar issue with coastal mountains but way fewer cars in Sydney, it gets really bad with bush fire hazard reduction burn-offs. They try and do that when there is no wind to reduce the spread of the fire but then the smoke hangs around and affects people with asthma. If you want to see what it might be like with zero regs check out Beijing, there now in panic mode trying to fix there nightmare with air polution.
 
In clear weather in the arctic there is always a dirty brown haze on the horizon, the smog of the northern hemisphere doesn?t just hang over the cities that produce it.
