So I wrote BP about the octane rating of thier various fuels. We know that in Japan, for instance, Subaru calls for a RON rating of 98 MINIMUM, and the UK Spec calls for 95 MINIMUM.

Well, guess what? Our gasoline is rated as far as octane goes using a method called RON+MON/2. I emailed bp and asked them for these values and here's what I got:

Ultimate: (91 octane in Colorado Market/93 others)

98 RON

So what exactly, does this mean? This means that we could run Japanese spec boost with the gas we get.

There, I've put another misconception to rest...

So does that mean we might be getting better than UK specs?

Maybe if you take off all the stuff that the EPA wants to slap on.
