Added a poll to this :)

I run diesel, and every now and then a tank of Premium Diesel. Don't notice any difference between the 2, except that with the premium it looks like I get a little more km's out of it but the extra cost doesn't make up for the extra km's.

It's incredible how you have High octane gas in Europe. The higher octane gas in Québec is 94, it's sold only by Petro-Canada gas station and I know there's a only one Petro Canada gas station which sell 100 octane but it's nearby a famous Dragstrip called Napierville.  ;)

Isn't it that the americans/canadians use a different system? I think Nth or someone said so in a very similar topic we had on JW...

Actaully what's incredible is what kinda crap they serve you there.

And yes, they do use different systems, but even when you compare them. Then the lowest avaivable in Europe is 95, then that in US terms is something between 90-91. But the lowest they offer is 87. And the highest is 93 I think.

well, typically I got for 91 octane, but if the pump has 93 I will use that one too. or diesel when it calls for it.

Regular diesel, I used to put premium diesel from time to time but now it's just way too expensive.

The regular one is currently 1.25€/l but a few weeks ago it was 1.31  :bad: Fortunately my little pug averages 5.2l/100km (and I have a heavy right foot, the car just isn't fast  :mrgreen:).

US Regular = 87-88 US Octane
US Midgrade = 89-90 US Octane
US Premium = 91-93 US Octane

'CLC/PON' vs. 'ROZ/RON':

US Octane 87 = EU Octane 91
US Octane 88 = EU Octane 92
US Octane 89 = EU Octane 93
US Octane 90 = EU Octane 94
US Octane 91 = EU Octane 95
US Octane 92 = EU Octane 96
US Octane 93 = EU Octane 97
US Octane 94 = EU Octane 98

With the US-EURO Gas specs from what Skaala has posted, I think that's more sense now. So now if I'm base on the Euro octane I'm running in Canada with EU Octane 98...That's cool !  :mrgreen:
