Usually that's the highest regular grade gas we can get, 95. Usually it's more like 93 octane. The lowest I've seen is 89.

Hrm maybe I'm wrong I don't pay attention to octane at the pump usually, I just get the premium gas.

different countries have different type of gas. most of the states in the US get 93 as premium. we in ca suck big time, 91 is the best we can get

other countries actually get better grade gas in general. i believe for example in hong kong you can get 98 easy
