    Just a little that is perhaps OT,

    Living in the country of origin (Sweden) we have only 3 quality grades
    all measured in RON according to ISO 5164:2005, namely 95, 96 and 98 octane.
    My old -82 245 runs on either, without knocking sensors and such fancy
    devices - hey it's a B21A engine, one of the few that can still be
    maintained with a screwdriver and a monkey wrench (adjustable spanner
    for the british). No fancy electronics there thank you very much!
    It does get more power and runs more even when using 98 but I haven't
    noticed any significant increase in mileage. So normally I use 95. So
    this whole discussion is a bit strange to me really :)

    / Johan
