No it doesn't ....we simply use a different system of gauging octane ratings.....you use MON, we use AKI, because we're better than you. :)
Different doesn't mean better, and in fact it's almost like the US couldn't make up their mind on wether to use RON or MON so the went "feck it, lets take an average" because AKI (Anti Knock Index) is RON+MON/2

I guess having a Cert IV in Petrochemical Processing Technology has finally come in handy |-)

And I want oil to go back up, protects my job. Plus the shares the company gave me earlier in the year as a retention bonus have tanked! :P

Yeah.....I dunno why they changed it?? We used to use the RON rating......Cali petrol is all watered down with ethanol these days.....might have something to do with that, to try and keep the octane rating artificially high.

There was an oil price row last month, so the Saudis literally flooded the market.

Opec nations have agreed a cut in Mays production so might swing back soon. Oil price has risen on the back of the news. Still low, just not as low as a day or two ago.

Was some bargain shares to snap up last week (happy)

I think it was Russia that flooded the market.

jesus you guys are getting rorted for fuel! The Aussie dollar is half that of the pound and at the height of the oil prices we weren't paying $2 a litre.

Here is a snapshot of my local service station prices. You can get E10 as low as 0.87c closer to the city
