You do not want to get those octane additives like Torco....it will leave a filthy deposit on your valves overtime causing additional engine damage. It is always best to buy straight rated gas....

1 US gallon = 3.785 litres
1 UK gallon = 4.546 litres.
In the UK, petrol (gas) has now reached £1 per litre, or, at current exchange rates ($2.10 to the £), $7.95 per US gallon. Basically, it's $135 to fill up my IS250. I suppose it looks a lot worse at the moment since the dollar is so weak on the international currency markets. Who knows how low it will sink when the Chinese start dumping dollars for Euros.

And right now in the US, we're all hurting and complaining about $3.00 / gal for regular. I filled up the SC today for $53.00.
It will only last me about 6 days. 
At $7-$8 a gallon, most of us would probably have to walk to work.
