    that was a good read!

    Most all of the gas in Europe is 100-102 octane so my motor loved it. I’m only running 9.2 compression so the fuel was good, and it usually ran from $7-$9 a gallon.

      We use the R+M/2 method of measuring octane in the states. The Europeans only tell you the research octane. Ours and their premium gas is pretty much the exact same despite theirs saying 100 on the pump. They also frequently have real gas vs the blend we are forced to use.
