Not so in the UK. It definitely states super unleaded 97ron under the petrol flap.

Great link up. Even comes in purple and blue, incredible.

You folks should just mix up pure alcohol, simple... just not cheap. Place order from your local (retired) chemist. Goes super super fast... fast & furious grade lolll

edit: Beware, NO SMOKING (in case young kids are reading these forums)
edit: Seal your tank, it goes off before you have time to say uh-oh

RON and Octane are different units of measurement. It's like km/h to mph or imperial to metric. Confusingly, the "O" in RON is Octane.
