Hans,
Likely just another case of Germans doing something better (IMHO), much like
DIN versus SAE horsepower. I did know about the R+M/2 method for American
gas, and you can get 100 octane here, just not easily in my state.. In
California, some 76 stations sell 100 octane.

All the airports do, just don't taxi your car too far into the runway and
90% of the time they fill you up no questions asked.

Yea, if you like to pay $2.25 a gallon for 100LL. And that's the cheap
stuff, out here.

Arabs are scary ? Only in America, or in
contesting for an extremely rare computer.
On the other hand should Hungarian Paprika
become the source for mind-boggling mileage.
would the Hungarians become the new boogeymen ?
One could also envision a scenario where chinese
silkworms had some inner energy that all the
world wanted. Hollywood could reissue all it's
Fu-Man-Chu series and the US state department
could investigate the insidious secret workings of
Charlie Chan, who was of course, inscrutable,
hence doubly dangerous.

I dont know. The pump number is as relevant as MOZ or ROZ in
itself. Since MOZ and ROZ are not numerical connected, using
(R+M)/2 has a valid point to give a guideline. It's just
important to know the different metric when traveling with
your own car to foreign places.
