Did anyone catch the octane rating of their fuels? 95 octane for "regular" gas and 98 for premium? Shit, were stuck with 87 or 93...... [Mad] I've ran 110 octane leaded race fuel in my 88 before and it made more power.

haha yeah, if you have ever seen the host form top gear (British car show) he refers to American fuel as limp wrist fairy dust and European fuel as jungle juice.
