Wow, crazy. Octane ratings are basically anti-knock ratings. High compression engines – usually high-performance engines – cause gasoline to sometimes self-ignite (like diesel), which is what causes knock. Normal compression engines can use gasoline with lower octane ratings. In the US, we get by with 87 octane on the vast majority of engines (Sun oil even sells 86), and “premium” gasoline goes up to about 93. In I’LL, what, they have only super-high-compression engines?

What’s the tax amount there per liter? I am sure they collect a pretty penny to “pay” for their social programs.

So how many cars in EY require super-premium 95 octane? What’s the price of regular 87 octane? Are high compression engines very common?
