Here's the guide for visitors:
Pump hose colour:
Green - Unleaded 95 octane
Green - Unleaded 98 octane
The pump clearly identifies which type of unleaded you're buying
Black - Diesel - one grade only in the UK
Red - Lead replacement gasoline. This has not proved popular since leaded fuel
became unobtanium in
2000. Basically, its 98 octane unleaded with added potassium as the lead
substitute.
I think (from memory) these hose colours are the same throughout Europe
