The one "petrol" that you do have over there that has a high MON rating is the BP Ultimate 102, which has a MON rating of 93 and a AKI rating of 97.
weird. i thought that UK Gas, at a given octane level had a higher octane than US gas. like 93 in US would be less than 93 in UK. interesting. on top gear they will make fun of the gas in the us for being like watered down and low octane. 'that stuff they [USA] refer to as petrol'
