    I want to now how much octane u use in your car.There is a benzine depot near my house they say that they are shipping 113 octane benzine to usa i was shocked when i heared that because we use 95 octane in our country is it true that in usa people use 113 octane for daily use ?

    FYI, the commonly used octanes in the USA are 87, 89, 91 and 93. Anything higher is usually considered race fuel...

    Remeber also that your octane rating system is different than ours.

    Euro: RON

    USA: RON+MON/2

    There are some people I know that use c16 (117 octane leaded) in their daily driven cars.

    But as said majority between 87-93 depending on state.

    That's just silly unless they are high-boost forced induction cars!

    91, all the time..and where available, 100. [good thing there's a place near my house that has 100 at the pump..when i'm there i'll usually mix in a few gals of 100 to bring the watered down CA gas to about 95]

    I live two blocks or so from a 76 with 100
    was at that gas station little over a week ago
    Same price as always it seems
    7.99 a gallon for 100
    330 for regular 87

    what a jump

    Is that the one off La Paz? I remember 100 being around 5.50 two years ago.

    Make sure your engine is tuned for it. Modern day engines advance and retard to prevent knock for a specified range (what we normally buy) so you'll probably want an ECU tune to take advantage of your 200000 octane gas.
