Sorry Steve, but I don't. In fact I didn't even know they sold two grades - but could it be regular
and bio-diesel? Certainly throughtout Western Europe there are two grades of unleaded - normal and
super - but don't be misled by the seemingly higher octane values. In Europe, we use what is called
the Research Method (ROM grade) while in the States you use another. Although I *think* the fuel
quality is the same, I've heard it said here by those who know about octane measuring standards,
that our 95 octane equates to your 91.
