Correct me if I am wrong, but don't Europeans have higher octanes available than the US?
They use the same octane fuels just different measurement scale. In the US we take the RON/MON average, over there they just use the RON which is typically higher (for gasoline).

How is 200mph or so less than lethal?

I was frustrated with other things at work when I made that statement. I should be more civil and not insinuate stupidity upon others. :tiphat:

"Sorry officer, I just filled up on Shell V-power. It's almost like the fuel used in Formula 1 cars."

It doesn't have to be SHELL V-Power. Premium blends are about the same for any Major Brand. :stirthepot:

I don't think the excuse is going to work by the way :shakes head:
