I’ve just seen it at €1.46. It’s going up again.

There’s a station on the Rue de Rivoli, not far from la Bastille, that’ll charge you an extraordinary amount because it’s the only one around.

It used to be a lot more expensive than it is now.

I remember back in ‘08 or so Prices were approaching €2.00 the liter. This is why people do LPG conversions.

The last time I did it I put 7/8th of a tank of regular unleaded into a Skoda Rapid (small car) and it cost me close to $80.

Christ. I can completely fill my E34’s 18 gallon tank for around $50. That’s with 93 octane premium, of course.

Yep, it’s nuts. Glad I don’t have a car here. Back when gas prices were insanely high (for the US) it would still cost me under $50 to fill up my Civic. Can’t imagine how expensive it must be owning something like a Range Rover over here.

In Europe we have 95, 98 and sometimes (near racetracks) 102 octane (in RON measurement). I don’t know which measurement method is used in USA.

We use AKI in the US. Usually at a station it’s 85, 89, and 91/92/93 (depending on the brand).

Translated to RON, it’d be 91, 94, and 96/97/98.

RON is about 6 points higher than The US equivalent (Anti-Knock Index) because the US uses both RON and MON, which differ by about 10-12 points. So 93 US AKI is about 99 RON.

93 is available in most major cities here where people drive exotics, 91 generally being the lower-end premium fuel. 95 is generally rarer, and you can get 100 octane (106 RON) as a race fuel from specialty shops.
