    +1. There's only one station near me that has the non ethanol junk, and it's pretty far out of the way. Also only carries good fuel during summer...winter I'm SOL.

        I believe ours is RON+MON/2 to get the octane rating, can anyone confirm? I'm too lazy to look it up.
        That's correct. It's on fueleconomy.gov.

              93 is at every station, 110 is available at a few places.

                    Usually they are required to post the notice on the pump or somewhere nearby. By law gas stations around here are required to use the ethanol during the cooler seasons from November to March.

                      Come to the UK. 99 RON is all over the place. It sounds good but in the US you do use the (RON +MON)/2 rating hense lower ratings.

                      US (RON+MON/2) Europe RON
                      87 91-92
                      90-91 95 (standard gas)
                      95 99 (available at shell and tesco's inotherwords everywhere).

                      It's £4.73 a US gallon though for 99 RON and only a bit less for 95 RON. So if you do come here just walk.

                        93 and I think I've seen 94 from one of the gas stations.

                        Visited my brother in Stratton Ohio, went over the border to PA (I think) and there was a station with 108 or 110.

                          We top at 93, some places its 10% ethanol though. We used to have 100 at the pump in one station, went away a few years ago though.

                            93 is the normal premium around me. Not only can you buy high octane fuels anywhere around my area, but you have a choice of brands. The station by my house sells 110 octane Cam2. About 2 miles up the road sells 110 octane Torco and the local bike shop sells VP racing fuels all the way up to 150 octane(supposedly) I used to run 110 Torco in my Sea-Doo RX-DI. At the time, I thought $3.99/gallon was expensive fuel to buy, now I think it goes for $7.99/ gallon.

                              93 is the highest I see on a regular basis, however there's one station within 20 minutes of me that carries 100 Octane. Haven't seen a station that wasn't 10% Ethanol in a long time around here.

                                91 and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED I am happy to be paying "only" 3.49 per gallon at Sam's/Costco.
