the numbe may be higher but if you were to compare the 2 theres no difference. they just rate the octane differently in europe :)

Octane rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

In most countries (including all of Europe and Australia) the "headline" octane that would be shown on the pump is the RON, but in the United States, Canada and some other countries the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON, sometimes called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), Road Octane Number (RdON), Pump Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2. Because of the 8 to 10 point difference noted above, this means that the octane in the United States will be about 4 to 5 points lower than the same fuel elsewhere: 87 octane fuel, the "regular" gasoline in the US and Canada, would be 91-92 in Europe. However most European pumps deliver 95 (RON) as "regular", equivalent to 90-91 US (R+M)/2, and even deliver 98 (RON) or 100 (RON).

so i was clse to what i was saying. the gas ove in europe is only sligtly better than hat we have here. although in the states some pumps offer 100 octane at sunoco. which in europe would be what, 105 to 106 octane.

put it this way your stang, you wouldnt really wanna drive it coz of the cost lol.

i already dont wanna drive it. lol. i got some 94 for my atv the other day, 20 bucks was 16.33 liters. the stang has a slightly bigger tank, and while not stomping on it its good on gas, its the time, basically everytime i drive it, that when i give her some , that she gets thirsty. lol. so the stang will be a weekend and some weeknites kinda car only.

don't feel so bad I have to drive a f150 everywhere I up to $180 a week on gas.

that sucks man. my suv is ok on gas, the stang wont be, its got a big shot of spray and i can guarantee ill play with it alot this summer

And by the time summer rolls around, it's projected to be around $1.40/L in southern ontario.

yeah that sucks too. anyone ever modify a hybrid car? lol

lol hybrid, god you have to speand 10 grand to go in the 17s..... time to buy sportbikes. I'll leave my stang for the track only. I wonder what it is going to cost me in gas to tow it up to the track, last year it costed 70 there and back home.

a bike doesnt sound like a bad idea, ive actually been looking for a moped

hybrid cars ?

do you guys get the smart sport car in canada ? it's sort of a convertible coope , light with 78 hp i think . i think you can prolly rip one of the chairs out of that and mod it to be faster ( it's a 2 seater )

Want to talk about the price of gas?I have an f350 diesel, spend 300-600$ a week T__T

and then there was one H22 four door left......
