Talking 102 Octane Available In Germany

Just returned to our home in Germany to find 102 Octane (RON) DTM available at some ARAL stations. Shell V-Power is still 100 Octane (RON). I presently have a full tank of 6 month old V-Power 100 + Sta-Bil. As soon as it's gone I'll try the ARAL 102.

You guys have mad jungle juice in Europe, not the lame gogo juice we have here. If we were to have 102 octane here, it would cost close if not more than $3.50 a gallon.

Very close.... 102 RON is around 96 to 97 PON (which is what we use here in the US).

I found a Valero station in North Phoenix that sells 100 octane unleaded for $7.99/gallon. Your $9.49/gallon makes mine look like a bargain. LOL.

I'm going to try some in the E63 at about a 4:1 ratio and see what difference it makes from our wimpy unleaded premium 91 octane.

Close enough. 102 RON + 93 MON/2=97.5 PON
