93??!!

yikes you folks get poor stuff.

Here in Blighty our poor stuff is 95 and there was a big fuss when the good stuff was reduced from 98 to 97 last year. some folks even use octane booster with the 97 to get it back up again.

Damn! 97!
I use chevron by the way, and they only offer 93 octane here.
Im not sure if chevron with techron is good but I tried using texaco and it dropped my mpg bad.

If I remember correctly, there are several different ways to measure Octane. Does anyone know more about the different measurements, or whether the UK uses the same one we do???

I think the US uses R+M, I've read about the differences, but don't remember them.:confused:
