Just came across this - feels like there’s yet another new angle to subtly kill off our octane burning toyz

Know the US with lower octane fuel means their premium is equivalent to our standard gas... not our 98 or 102 ron

Our oil guzzler easily does 650 miles on a run with V power @ 80mph across Europe... with standard supermarket gas, am lucky to get 550 miles before the feed me light appears.... & then of course there’s the Z, where fuel consumption’s measured in tenacious smiles, not cost.

I only hope it doesn’t result in the decimation of local garages, car manufacturers, large oil companies & all the other connected industries.... bit like the Steel & Pit industries, feel the writings on the wall.
 
Missed the 7 year part - coincided with a pub chat where someone said they heard they wanted to discontinue premium fuel to discourage higher emissions... ie performance cars are likely to be driven more enthusiastically
