Like everything else, europeans meaure octane differently than we do
in the USA, using the "Research Octane Number" which is a a higher
number by 4 or 5 points than the numbers we are accustomed to in the
states.

The real reason for higher fuel costs in europe is mostly taxes.

I hope that wasn't too political a cooment.
