99 normally laeded / lead substitute, not available in most european
countries any more (I think).
95 euro unleaded is normal for most engines in use - it is fair too high
rated for american V8 engines, which could eat even that 85 octane fuel
which was available at early 60's and is still in use 200 miles from here -
in Russia.
98 unleaded euro super is available everywhere in Europe, it is for early
turbo Saabs, Lotus etc. high performance street cars and for tuned
Alpines....
I am not so sure that octane/cyclo hexane rating system differs from
America to Europe. We only tease our little beasts so hard and european
owners also serve their stressed cars a bit better?? So our cars are
planned to take the advantage of higher compression rate and use syntethic
ether kind of compounds in fuel (MTBE or something like that).
