I just paid 91 pence a litre for a tank of Shell Optimax(super premium) which equates to US$1.617 per litre or US$6.13 per US gallon.

$1.39 per litre for us down here. NZD, so $0.98USD per litre.

Cheers.

ya but NZ has higher octane than us...around her the highest is 91...which is barely enough to run most cars well lol...they have to detune our cars soo much just to get them to run on 87-89-91 it sucks...so my solution...retune it to run 105+ and run a gallon of toluene with my 10 gallon tank which gets me plenty over 100...

BTW: You can buy Toluene at any Sherwin Williams Paint store for $4/gal
