So many car threads...

[The_Equalizer]

Well, my choice is either a 2l or a 2.9l engine. Petrol is 116.9p per litre.

If I wanted to use the EU standard units, I'd talk in watts.
If I wanted to use the SI standard units, it's also watts. That's the global standard and is named after a Scotsman.
So, much as you'd like to bash the EU (as ever and at every opportunity), you'd look as big an idiot as usual for doing so.

Perhaps you'd prefer we used the FFF system?

But is that two, four or five star petrol? That's what I want to know.

Ah, BS4040
"Specification for leaded petrol (gasoline) for motor vehicles" from 1967

1-Star (89 RON)
2-Star (92 RON)
3-Star (95 RON)
4-Star (98 RON)
5-Star (101 RON)

(But I could be wrong)

Petrol in the UK is 95 RON, with 98 RON being these Shell and Esso special grades, which you only really need in top end turbo charged motors.

oh yes, the price of petrol

on the mainland most of the west and central European countries are paying the equivalent of 1eur at the pump for a litre of diesel

remind me how much they were charging last week at membury services

Milan.

At current rates, apparently, about 1 euro per litre...

I need to get a new car. Maybe I should start a thread on the merits of a Vauxhall Vectra. Obviously I will go get something else...
