From Luxemburg Shell V-power 98 (in reality over 100 always, last time they tested was 106 - I have smb working at the lab). No ethanol. Costs 1.30-1.40 eur/liter. This is an ok-ish price for premium gasoline in EU.
When I go to Germany Shell V-power Racing 100. About the same but rebranded. Costs 1.50-1.80 eur/liter. Higher taxes in Germany.
Everywhere else I go in Europe I try to fuel from Shell, maybe BP, Total at limit.
Figures are RON ratings.

BP 93...I don't even have it FlashPro yet but I'd rather not deal with knocking.

Would prefer to use Shell over BP but there are no Shells in a convenient place near me, also B.P. has same price card/cash which means I never have to deal with cash.

I don't run anything less than 93 octane. No problems. Currently all stock. 25k mi. Hope this helps.

Whats the main difference that you feel with shell 91 and Ultra 94. I have always put in ultra 94 and nothing else.
My wallet lol....no honestly I don't really notice a difference, right now I tend to use 91 because its still cheaper and I am not tuned. If I was tuned (depending on the tune) I would stick to 94. When I had my Evo I was tuned to 94 and you could feel the difference, well at least I could mainly because of the more aggressive tuning vs my 91 tune.

Been using Shell 98 since the day she was born. It's more expensive but got to give her the best.

Ive heard people rag on Shell gas for some reason, but ive personally only heard good things about it. I use Shell 91 V power personally.

Shell gas is great with cleaning additives but do not tune on shell gas

I tuned on 91 with shell On a dyno ,car started to knock, tuner asked me what gas a put in the car i responded shell , he then told shell is good for normal driving with oem tune but once the car gets tuned he told me not to use shell its not good gas for tuned cars he has had many problems with others filling up with shell and tuning the car i believe him because he is one of the best tuners in the island specialy with Hondas again im only referring on tuned cars not stock . Could be all the cleaning additives mislxed in thats just me saying .

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder if it is due to the cleaning additives. Im surrounded by shit gas in my area. Lots of Kwik Trips and Holidays, very little Shell and BP.
