Default Haven't they learned from California (as unlikely as that may seem)?

The MTBE ended up in the ground water due to leaking tanks at gas stations. Bon appetit! :-x

Default Aha that makes more sense now.....i knew the UK would still be years behind somehow!

Less octane than you guys and we still pay twice the price!

Default Actually, your 98 would be 94 and higher than premium (super)

93 seems to be the highest commonly available fuel here in the US (I'm not counting race gas). And most of us in California are stuck with 91. So you guys in Europe and the UK can get higher Octane fuel. But yeah, the price... :-0

Default Why is that? In Europe 93 is the lowest I've seen.

Most people get 93 or 96. You can also get 98. Wouldn't 93 octane have better emissions and create better gas mileage than 91. Is there a reason for it? CA is so obsessed...
