Gas prices were pricey over in europe....around 1.45 euro/liter, which equates to 8.75 dollars/gallon.

octane...

Post by jezzarisky »

so i can no longer verify how well my car runs with 91, but the last time i put 89 in it idled much rougher than putting 87 in, yes there was seafoam in there as well and i could see this being a cause of this more likely, but i personally havent found any justification to putting high octane fuel in my stock na...

Since JetA and airplanes were mentioned, I have a friend who's an airplane mechanic for one of the major airlines. He told me that at today's prices, it costs about $250,000 to fill up a 747 to fly it to Hawaii and almost $30,000 to fill up an Airbus to fly it to NY from AZ. One reason why the airlines are going broke.
