I don't know about you but as I see it there's a conspiracy going in in the petrol companies over here in the US (I'm a Brit so it's called petrol, not gas...).

The MINI (and my previous Audi A4) all recommend 91 octane, but I can't buy it anywhere! You get 87, 89, then they skip 91 and go right to 93 for a premium. I keep thinking about doing half a tank of 89 and half a tank of 93, but in the end I just can't be bothered with two credit card swipes, and just get stiffed for the 93.
