I'm going to take a stab at something and guess you guys out there probably have higher octane gas without all the crap additives that we have here?
It is probably a minimal additive package since the Petrol supply is now a state monopoly (Woqood). When I first came here there were a couple Shell stations still and you could tell the difference (same stock, of course, but the Shell additive package). But that was long ago. Probably just some stuff to stabilise it for the heat...
