2X -- but the incremental lifespan of a detonating engine with forged pistons (v HE cast) is not a whole lot longer.

Stock replacement pistons put you in the 10-2-10.5 range depending on the cyl heads, you need to build for the fuel you have in the area. IIRC, euro pump gas premium is something like 96 octane, so a cast rebuilder piston should be okay.

Only problem: with the cost of gas, a fill up is more than the pistons!
