Something to note, their lowest standard of gas is 93 octane, our highest.

They use a different Octane measuring standard. The numbers are different.

Our 87 octane is the same as European 91 octane, so 93 octane is really just like 89 octane in the US.

89 octane was the standard until unleaded gas was introduced.

Hilarious! One should think that such great “capitalist” like you my dear “jb6” wont defend state controlled economy (aka setting prices). I remember how you with great pleasure attacked Tymoshenko for doing the same, I didn’t defended her at that time. But now we see that once again your agenda is more important than free economy. What a surprise! / big sarcasm

Leave it to jb6 to praise the virtues of still putting lead into gasoline.
