Last winter I rode my DL650 from Colorado to Argentina and went through some very desolate areas with some very poor fuels. Gas in Bolivia is so bad that it is jokingly said to have single digit octane, I suspect its not far off from that! Funny enough, I got my best gas mileage there while riding for days at 13,000+ feet. Go figure!
The Wee does very well with crappy gas. A pre-tank(ie when filling up) filter is not a bad idea, but over all the screen/pre-filter going into the fuel pump inside the tank is pretty well designed.

A gas station near Torres del Paine, Chile. Attendant pumping fuel from rusty 55 gallon drums inside the shack.
